one of our Doctors who will ensure that your symptomsare checked as well. Medical certificates are provided where required.
 
• Stay home and get tested if you have symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) no matter how mild: including fever, chills, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose, loss of sense of smell or taste. Go home straight after your test and self-isolate while you wait for the results. You must not go to your workplace until you get your results.
 
• Face coverings in regional Victoria – Face coverings in regional Victoria continue to be recommended in situations where maintaining 1.5 metres distance is not possible – however regional Victorians will have to put on face covering when visiting metropolitan Melbourne or Mitchell Shire for one of the permitted reasons.
