Social etiquette is no longer the same in the highly infectious coronavirus environment we find ourselves in.


Keeping a physical distance, sneezing into your elbow, and regular hand washing are just some of the new norm.


Highlights

  • Act as if you’ve got coronavirus to practice good social etiquette.
  • RMIT research shows that older people find it hard to confront strangers who fail to follow public health guidelines.
  • Avoid bringing a plate or sharing food in public.

 

Check your state’s restrictions on gathering limits.

If you are experiencing cold or flu symptoms, stay home and arrange a test by calling your doctor or contact the Coronavirus Health Information Hotline on 1800 020 080.
