Updated advice on coronavirus from Victorian Government

The Victorian Government Department of Health and Human Services is advising all people who have been in mainland China (excluding Hong Kong SAR, Macau and Taiwan) or Iran in the past 14 days to self-quarantine for 14 days after leaving those locations and avoid public settings (work, school, childcare, university or other public places including public transport and taxis).

Anyone who has been in close contact with a confirmed case of coronavirus (COVID-19) should also stay at home and avoid public settings until 14 days after their last contact.

Council is following the Victorian Government's advice and liaising directly with parents, guardians and carers who use our family and early childhood services and facilities.
