What to do if you have COVID-19
If you test positive for COVID-19, it is likely your symptoms will be mild and you can recover safely at home.
If you have no symptoms, or only mild symptoms, this information and advice will help keep you and your loved ones safe. You should only call triple zero (000) or attend an emergency department if your symptoms are severe.
You’ll need to self-isolate, stay home and separate from others for at least 7 days. Find out more about how to self-isolate and to get the support you need.
Household members must also get tested and isolate. You should advise your friends, family and work contacts to monitor for symptoms.
