People in OUR community have lost their jobs, closed their businesses and are at significant health risk because of this disease. People breaching the current laws are placing EVERYONE in our community at risk, including our most vulnerable. If YOU don’t report them, YOU are placing EVERYONE in our community at risk. How can people possibly prefer to protect the people breaching self-isolation OVER everyone else in our community???

People who have been directed by the government to self-isolate pose a significant risk to the community if they breach these laws including:

• People who have returned from overseas – where our highest rates of infection are coming from;
• People who have been in direct contact with a confirmed case.

WHY it is critical for people to observe isolation laws:

• People can shed the virus for at least 24 hours, before showing ANY symptoms;
• Symptoms may not present for 14 days – most show symptoms within 3-7 days, but some have presented at day 13 or 14;
• The virus can survive for several days on surfaces that person has been in close proximity to – anyone who comes into contact with that surface during that time can contract the disease;
• People they have come in contact with can contract the virus and must be assessed by public health to assess their risk and prevent further transmission in the community.
