COVID-planning vital for travellers
With people travelling to see family and friends over the spring school holidays, it is important they be prepared and follow current COVID-19 public health and social measures to help keep everyone safe.
Travellers are reminded to think about what they will do if they test positive for COVID-19 or become a close contact while they are away.
It is recommended to pack a COVID-kit that includes:
- rapid antigen tests (RATs)
- face masks
- hand sanitiser
- tissues
- thermometer
- electrolytes
- proof of vaccination
If people develop COVID-like symptoms or become a close
contact, they should get tested at once – RATs are a safe, convenient, and quick choice, particularly in
regional or remote WA.
People at greater risk of severe disease from COVID-19 are encouraged to ask their GP
for information on other safety measures and a plan in case they get COVID-19 or become a close contact.
