Getting Tested  COVID-19

Working when unwell risks your health and wellbeing, and potentially undermines the department of health’s policy on preventing COVID-19 transmission. If you have any symptoms of COVID-19, you must prioritise self-care and manage your health, including following Department of Health Guidelines relating to self-isolation and quarantine.

Once you have been tested, you will generally receive your results within 2-3 working days (during which time you need to remain in self-isolation at home and until the 14 days period since your exposure or positive test result and may require further testing).
