Are you vaccinated / have you received your booster?
Being vaccinated offers good protection against severe illness and hospitalisation and lowers the risk to you and others.
Are you more vulnerable than others?
Activities that involve meeting others are higher risk so you need to take steps to protect yourself.
Do you have symptoms that could be associated with COVID-19?
If you are displaying any symptoms, you should self-isolate until 48 hours after symptoms have substantially or fully resolved and follow the latest public health advice on isolation and testing.
Does anyone you're meeting have symptoms that could be associated with COVID-19?
Feel comfortable asking the people you are meeting if they have symptoms. If they do, advise them to stay at home and follow the latest public health advice on self-isolation and testing.

Wearing masks reduces the risk for everyone.
