What to do if you test positive
If you test positive to COVID-19 you should stay home if you have ongoing respiratory symptoms (cough, runny nose, sore throat, difficulty breathing) and take extra precautions in the days following to minimise the risk of spreading COVID-19.
Most people who are up-to-date with their COVID-19 vaccinations will only experience mild illness and symptoms.
People who are higher risk of severe illness may need to access care, support and treatments.
