Effective immediately, NSW Health services will move from an amber alert (moderate transmission) to a green alert (low transmission).
With the transition to a green alert, NSW Health are advising that in their facilities that most staff do not need to wear a surgical mask when within 1.5 metres of a patient. The green alert also includes:
- Mask wearing is still required for staff working in emergency departments and for all staff when attending to patients who have an acute respiratory infection.
- Patients presenting to the emergency department should continue to be encouraged to wear masks.
- Most other patients are not required to wear masks.
The use of PPE for any suspected, probable or confirmed case of COVID-19 remains unchanged.
A full matrix of infection prevention and control practices under each alert level is available with the Framework.
