Over the past few days there has been a significant increase in the number of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) cases outside of mainland China, and the Australian government has enacted their pandemic planning strategy. While the South Pacific region to date has only had a small number of confirmed cases, it is important that we encourage the basic principles of hygiene and cough etiquette. For details see the Australian Government website.

We suggest if you are thinking about or have any upcoming travel to check this website.

If you believe you have any of the listed symptoms, seek medical advice.

Information on the Government websites is updated daily.
