If you have Covid-19, you need are required to isolate for 7 days after you did the PCR swab (not after you received the result). This is if your symptoms have cleared.

If you have a persistent cough, runny nose, sore throat, fever, shortness of breath or feel ill, you should not leave isolation.

Wear a mask when interacting with other people and DO NOT VISIT high risk settings or come to the practice (health care, aged care, disability care or correctional facilities) for a further 3 days.

If you work in one of these settings speak to your employer before returning.

You will receive an SMS from NSW Health, but you do not have to wait for this SMS to leave self-isolation if it has been 7 days since you were tested. For example, if you were tested at 10am on Tuesday, you can leave isolation at 10am on the following Tuesday if you do not have any of these symptoms.

You should let us know if you have persistent symptoms so that we can medically clear you from isolation.

Further information that you need to know after isolation can be found here.
