Whilst there may not be a legal requirement to isolate if you test positive to COVID-19, the SA Health recommendation is to stay home and take steps to protect others.

• stay home whilst infectious and symptoms have cleared (usually 5 to 7 days)
• notify your lecturer if you have tested positive and discuss when you can return to your studies (if you attend a health, disability or aged care setting, a longer period away from the workplace is necessary to protect staff, residents, patients and clients)
• wear a mask when indoors or on public transport if you must leave the house
• avoid large gatherings and crowded indoor places
• not visit people at high risk of severe illness, or anyone in a hospital, aged care or disability care facility for at least 7 days.

To further note:

• If you test positive using a rapid antigen test, you must report your result online via SA Health reporting form
• For COVID-19 health support, call the National Coronavirus Help line on 1800 020 080 (available 24 hours, 7 days) or your GP.
