If you have symptoms of Covid-19 and have been tested either through your local doctor, or a designated Covid-19 testing clinic, you must self-isolate until either advised by your doctor or you receive a SMS message from NSW Health Pathology advising you of the result of your test. Over the last few weeks, there have been an increase of positive Covid-19 cases confirmed as a result of people not affectively self-isolating from the time they go for the test, to when their results have been received. NSW Health has released a self-isolation guidelines document for people suspected to have Covid-19 and what process they should take to eliminate any potential spread of the virus. It covers common questions, such as: How long do I need to remain in isolation? What symptoms should I be monitoring? Am I allowed to go to work or school? Can I have visitors to my home? Can I go out in the garden? How do I separate myself from the home? When should I wear my mask? Do the members of my household need to also isolate? As well as tips for you and your family to help cope with home isolation. Click here to view the NSW Health Self-isolation Guidelines.
