Ask yourself the below questions and assess your level of risk before socialising over this winter season

Risk

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.

Will you be there longer than 2 hours?

The shorter the duration of an activity, the lower the risk.

Will the event be indoors?

Indoor activity is riskier than an outdoor activity.

If the activity is indoors, will there be adequate ventilation?

Let fresh air in to reduce the risk of COVID-19.

Symptoms

Do you have symptoms that could be associated with COVID-19?

If you are displaying any symptoms, you should stay at home and arrange a PCR test. Do not go out.

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 arrange a PCR test.

Venue

Can you keep a safe distance from others?

By keeping your distance from others, you can reduce your risk. Be aware that this may be more difficult in some places.

Will the venue be crowded?

Avoiding crowded places will reduce the risk associated with an activity.

Will you wear masks?

Wearing masks reduces the risk for everyone.

Is it a well-managed premises?

If a venue is not following public health guidance, including checking your COVID pass, there may be a higher risk. You should take your business elsewhere.

People

How many people are you meeting?

The more people you meet, the greater the risk.

How many households are meeting up?

Getting together with your own household is lower risk. The more households you meet with, the greater the risk.

Are you meeting vulnerable people?

You should take particular care if you are meeting with vulnerable people. You should take steps to protect them such as wearing a mask or taking an antigen test before meeting them.

Are the people you are meeting vaccinated/have they received their booster?

Being vaccinated offers good protection against severe illness and hospitalisation and lowers the risk to you and others.
