Have you tested positive for COVID-19 on a rapid antigen or PCR test?
You must:
• Self-isolate at home for 7 days from the date you got tested, even if you are fully vaccinated
• Tell the people you live with, any social contacts, and your workplace or school that you have tested positive
Your household contacts must also self-isolate for 7 days and have a rapid antigen test as soon as possible and again on day 6.
If you are under 65 years of age, have had two doses of COVID-19 vaccine, do not suffer from any chronic health conditions and are not pregnant, you can safely manage COVID-19 at home.
If you develop severe symptoms call Triple Zero (000) and tell the ambulance staff that you have been diagnosed with COVID-19.
You can only leave self-isolation after 7 days if you do not have a sore throat, runny nose, cough or shortness of breath. You do not need to have a negative test to exit isolation.
You will receive an SMS from NSW Health after 7 days, but you do not have to wait for this SMS to leave self-isolation if it has been 7 days since you were tested.
