Advice about travel and carpooling:
''Travelling with others: Where possible, avoid carrying passengers who do not live in your household in your vehicle. The enclosed space can increase the risk of spreading coronavirus (COVID-19).
If travelling in a vehicle with people who are not part of your household:
-
To physically distance, passengers should sit in the back seat wherever possible.
-
Everyone should wear a fitted face mask unless they have a lawful exemption.
-
Increase ventilation.
-
Open windows wherever possible and avoid using the air conditioner’s recirculation mode.
-
Regularly clean and sanitise often touched objects and surfaces in the vehicle such as door handles.''
Advice about mask-wearing:
- 'Face masks must be worn indoors (for example, in the supermarket or on public transport). A mask is not required outdoors if you can keep 1.5 metres distance from others. Face masks must be worn by all Victorians when they leave home, unless they have a lawful reason not to wear one or are outside and can keep 1.5 metres distance.
