We also remind all Canberrans when undertaking essential activity outside the home, make sure you are protecting yourself and your loved ones by:
- wearing a mask and wearing it properly
- maintaining good hand hygiene
- physical distancing from people outside of your household – at least 1.5 metres, and
- checking in everywhere you go with the Check In CBR app.
