Coronavirus (COVID-19) – Do I need to wear a mask?

Masks are an extra precaution to protect against COVID-19 in areas with community transmission. Check your local state and territory advice about mask recommendations and requirements. If you are in a situation where physical distancing is difficult such as on public transport, you may choose to wear a mask.

Note: The National Coronavirus Helpline and Easy Vaccine Access service are no longer in service.
