previous AHPPC statement on 30 March 2020 on managing vulnerable workers.AHPPC is pleased to note the continued stable low number of cases of COVID-19 in most communities in Australia.
This has permitted progressive relaxation of travel and other physical distancing restrictions.As the current level of COVID-19 cases is low, people, even those at higher risk of becoming severely ill from COVID-19, can return to work and other settings with appropriate precautions in place.Australians should monitor current public health advice and continue physical distancing, using hand and respiratory hygiene and stay home if acutely unwell.The risk of becoming infected with SARS-CoV2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) depends on the chance of being close.
