Dear BusVic Members,

 

Coronavirus Update for Bus Drivers and Passengers

 

Since our member email of Friday 6 March, an updated “Information for drivers and passengers using public transport” document was released by the Department of Health and Human Services. It can be downloaded from the link below.

 

Coronavirus COVID-19 - Information for Public Transport

 

All enquiries about coronavirus should be referred to the coronavirus pages of the Department of Health and Human Services website, https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/coronavirus

 

Any person concerned that they may have coronavirus or have had contact with a coronavirus-infected person should contact a doctor (phone ahead first) or call the DHHS Coronavirus Hotline on 1800 675 398.

 

The most effective way to minimise the risk of coronavirus is to follow the DHHS website advice on good hygiene, https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/victorian-public-coronavirus-disease-covid-19

 

Masks are regarded as not effective for avoiding coronavirus, but are recommended for people who have flu-like symptoms, to minimise the risk of them spreading droplets by coughing and sneezing.

 

Washing hands with soap and water for 20 seconds is just as effective as hand sanitiser for cleaning hands. There is no need for panic if hand sanitiser is not available.

 

Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.

 

Workplaces are encouraged to print and display the A4 poster, “Ten ways to reduce your risk of coronavirus”, linked below, if you have not already done so.
