Dear Colleagues, I hope you continue to stay safe and well during the fourth week of Greater Sydney’s lockdown.

On 1 July, the NSW Government announced they will establish two new mass vaccination centres in preparation for a larger supply of Pfizer vaccines.

In addition to the COVID-19 update posted on Saturday evening 26 June, staff are asked to note the following arrangements for accessing campus facilities and on-campus businesses while the current NSW Public Health stay-at-home orders are in place.

With recent COVID-19 positive cases and case locations identified within our communities and new mask requirements announced today, staff are reminded to remain vigilant with regards to Covid Safe practices.  These include:  wearing a mask is mandatory when in indoor spaces and providing goods or services to members of the public as well as use of public transport.  This now includes the Greater Sydney area including Wollongong and Shellharbour LGAs.  As such masks are required to be worn for indoor locations while on campus where members of the public (including students) are present.  This includes classrooms, Library, exams, service counters, Science Space and Discovery Centre.  Office areas that do not have members of the public visit are exempt.  Masks are available from the FMD Service Centre.  staying home if unwell and get a COVID-19 test if displaying symptoms  practicing healthy hygiene habits such as washing your hands regularly, disinfecting shared surfaces or equipment  checking in to facilities using QR codes  remaining 1.5m away from others where reasonable to do so and wear a mask where this can’t be maintained, and  check your eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccination and book your appointments.    For more information please refer to NSW Health Covid-19 site and the UOW Covid Safe Response site on the intranet.
