COVIDSafe Principles for Business 
As restrictions ease, it’s important that we act to keep ourselves and others safe. The following actions can help protect you from coronavirus (COVID-19). Stay safe by washing your hands regularly, having a face mask with you and wearing it when required, coughing and sneezing into your elbow, and keeping at least 1.5 metres from others. Business and industry in Victoria must operate based on six principles of COVIDSafe workplaces:
- ensure physical distancing
- wear a face mask (when inside, unable to ensure physical distance)
- practice good hygiene
- keep good records and act quickly if staff become unwell
- avoid interactions in close spaces
- create workforce bubbles
