Stay Safe and Protect each other

We are experiencing a pandemic like nothing we’ve seen in our lifetime. It is changing the way we live now and how we will live in the future. We have all taken steps to mind ourselves and each other, to flatten the curve, to protect our health service and save lives. Our actions have reduced the impact of COVID-19 on the country and our health service. We need to keep up the actions that help us to stay safe and protect each other. Staying safe and staying away from the people we love and the things we enjoy is not easy. It’s not us. But, this is us – taking care of each other, supporting the people on the frontline and the people most at risk in communities all across the country.
