COVID-19 Update – December 2, 2021
Latest News
There have been some changes to isolation requirements for people exposed to COVID-19.
Health authorities say that if you have been exposed, you should make sure you're safe and supported. Help, money and food is available for you and your family.
You must quarantine at home for 10 days after the date you got tested. The people you live with must quarantine (for 7 days if fully vaccinated and for 14 days if not fully vaccinated) from the date you received your positive test result.
Tell your 'social contacts' (such as the friends and family you caught up with) that you had COVID-19 when you were together, and recommend they get tested.
You must tell your employer or school or higher education provider that you tested positive.
If your child has tested positive, you must notify their school/childcare/early childhood education centre as soon as possible.
