COVID-19 UPDATE FROM: Central Coast Health
CENTRAL COAST NSW
COVID-19 UPDATE | We are providing care and support to a Central Coast female in her 30s who has been diagnosed with COVID-19.
Health staff are undertaking daily wellness checks while she is in isolation at home and she is doing well. The source of the infection is being investigated.
Her close contacts have been contacted and asked to self-isolate. They are being contacted every day by the public health unit to check that they are well. Any contact who develops COVID-19 symptoms will be tested for the infection.
NSW Health is continuing to trace and respond to cases as they are diagnosed to slow any spread of COVID-19 in the community.
To help protect the community people are asked to:
• clean your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds with soap and water, or an alcohol-based hand rub
• cover your nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing with tissue or a flexed elbow
• avoid close contact with anyone with cold or flu-like symptoms
• stay home if you are sick
