Children and young people with COVID-19 are likely to experience mild symptoms, like fever and cough, or no symptoms at all.

If your child gets COVID-19, and you can care for them at home, follow this advice:
✔️ Give your child plenty of fluids to drink.
✔️ Encourage them to eat even if they don’t feel like it.
✔️ Ensure they get as much rest as much as possible.
✔️ Use paracetamol or ibuprofen only if you think your child is in pain or appears uncomfortable with a fever. Do not give more of these medicines than is allowed in a 24-hour period (as per label directions).

Yes.

If your safety is at risk, you can leave home at any time during an emergency, such as flooding due to storms, even if you are isolating because you have COVID-19 or you are a close contact of someone who has COVID-19.
If your power is out or you need food or other essential items, and it’s not an emergency, contact the Department of Health on 1800 675 398 or use the number you were given when you were contacted as a positive case or close contact.
🚨 Try to stay COVIDSafe, though this may not always be possible in an emergency situation. For more information see: coronavirus.vic.gov.au/emergencies-an….

Rapid antigen tests are available in stores from tomorrow.

You may have heard a bit about them, but here's everything you need to know: coronavirus.vic.gov.au/rapid-antigen-…
👉 Rapid antigen tests can only tell you if you are *likely* to have COVID-19. In Victoria, a standard (PCR) test at a testing centre is still needed to confirm if you have COVID-19.
👉 If you test positive from a rapid antigen test, then you must isolate, get tested with a standard (PCR) test, and stay isolated until you get your results.

Congratulations, Victoria.

More than 80 per cent of us aged 16+ are now fully vaccinated and we thank each and every one of you for playing your part.
Let’s keep encouraging those who are eligible to protect their family and community, so we can hit our next double dose milestone of 90 per cent of Victorians aged 12 and up.
👉 If you’re not fully vaccinated, you can walk in today to selected pop-up clinics across the state: coronavirus.vic.gov.au/vaccination-ce…

👉 Book an appointment at a state-run vaccination centre online: coronavirus.vic.gov.au/book-your-vacc… or by calling 1800 675 398 8am – 8pm 7 days.

Some Victorians are still experiencing power outages after recent storms. If you are in this situation, here are a few things to think about ⬇️
⚠️Electrical appliance safety
If you are experiencing interruptions to your power, turn off all electrical appliances (especially those that have heating elements) and unplug ‘surge-sensitive’ equipment such as computers.
Keep one light switch turned on so you know when the power returns.
If you have a battery-operated radio turn it on and listen to a local radio station for information.
