NSW HEalth says there are simple steps you can take to protect yourself and others around you.
If you test positive to COVID-19, NSW Health recommends you:
• stay home until your acute symptoms have gone
• register your positive rapid antigen test result with Service NSW
• wear a mask indoors and on public transport, if you must leave your home
• avoid large gatherings and indoor crowded places
• don't visit people at higher risk of severe illness..
If you are at higher risk of severe illness, you may be eligible for antiviral medicines or other treatments for COVID-19.
These work best when taken as soon as possible, usually within five days from when your symptoms start.
Speak to your GP to see if you may be eligible for antiviral medicines, so you have a plan in place to test and receive antivirals as soon as possible.
If you are not able to get in touch with your GP, you can contact the NSW Health COVID-19 and Flu Care at Home Support Line on 1800 960 933 or the National Coronavirus Helpline 1800 020 080.
It is no longer mandatory to self-isolate if you test positive, but it is recommended you stay at home to protect other people from infection.
