Try not to touch your face

This is hard!

Challenge friends and families to call you out

Touching your mouth, eyes and nose can create an easy route for viruses to enter your body, so, unless your hands are clean, don’t touch your face

Be careful with where and how much you expose yourself to the news

Be especially mindful of children’s exposure, fear is not helpful

Once daily checking from a reputable source is enough

No more than an hour a day

Be careful with ‘fake news’. It’s out there and it can be really difficult to tell apart from ‘real news’

Conspiracy theorists and peddlers of miracle cures are out there, question the validity of what you see, read or hear

Look to reputable sites such as the Australian Department of Health, State Departments of Health and the World Health Organisation for updates and advice
