While social distancing and shutdown measures are working, it is still important people in Australia know what to do if they contract COVID-19. Not everyone will need to be hospitalised.


More information about what you should do if you think you have COVID-19 or receive a positive test can be found at health.gov.au or if you need help from the Australian government.

People in Australia must stay at least 1.5 metres away from others and gatherings are limited to two people unless you are with your family or household.

If you believe you may have contracted the virus, call your doctor (don’t visit) or contact the national Coronavirus Health Information Hotline on 1800 020 080. If you are struggling to breathe or experiencing a medical emergency, call 000.
