Ambulance Victoria is calling on communities throughout the region to continue to be vigilant and stop the spread of COVID-19.
Ambulance Victoria Grampians regional director Tim Maywald said many regional areas would experience an influx of visitors during the school holidays and it was more important than ever to maintain social-distancing and hygiene protocols.
“The recent spike in coronavirus cases has prompted fears of a second wave, but our message remains the same,” he said.
“If you go out, please continue to practise physical distancing. Wash your hands thoroughly and often, and don’t touch your face because the primary path of infection is through your mouth, nose and eyes. For the same reason, and for the safety of others, sneeze or cough into your elbow.”
