From the beginning of the week, playgrounds and skate parks across the town were officially closed to the public, along with council-managed camping reserves and the Junee Caravan Park to all but long term residents.

A public health order is now in place allowing police to enforce the current social distancing rules including a ban on leaving the house 'without a reasonable excuse' and gatherings of more than two people in public also banned.

The Junee Shire Council has put signs at the public facilities reminding the community of the closures, and general manager James Davis said it was important for people to respect the changes across the community which have been enacted under the direction of the federal and state governments.

"If staff see people using those facilities, we ask them to move on and just recognise that we are all responsible in terms of social distancing and we are implementing what has been advised by the federal government as recently as Sunday night," Mr Davis said.

He said it was important individuals chose to follow the rules of their own volition.

"Self responsibility is a key to all of the measures that the government are asking citizens and government agencies to make," he said.

Mr Davis said so far it appeared that while Junee had not yet seen a confirmed coronavirus case within the community, the town was willing to do the right thing.

"In the main the community appear to be very compliant ... they realise the significance of the measures," he said.

"It's important that everyone plays their role in this process and even though it will be a long role, we can see that the community and communities across the state are adhering to the advice from the government in the main which is good news."

Other council affiliated services deemed essential continue to operate, including the family day care.

"There's precautionary measures put in place and social distancing is required," Mr Davis said.

"We're talking with customers that have an interface with those services to ensure they alert us if they've got any cold or flu like symptoms."

Junee Community Transport also continues to operate for essential trips such as medical appointments.

Mr Davis said the council would continue to act quickly on further instructions from state and federal government, but at this stage they had been given no indication the transport service would be closed.
