Am I a casual contact or a close contact?

If you visited any of the following high-risk locations, you should get tested immediately.

You are a close contact — you need to be tested and quarantine for 14 days.

Health authorities also ask for those in your household to quarantine with you for 14 days.

If you visited any of the following "locations of concern", you should still get tested.

You are a casual contact, you need to get tested and stay at home while you wait for your results.

You do not need to quarantine for 14 days.

In addition, you should be vigilant for symptoms of COVID-19 and get tested again at the first sign of any symptoms.

Anyone who is unwell with any symptoms of COVID-19, no matter how mild (such as fever, chills, cough, sore throat, runny nose, loss of sense of smell) should also get tested immediately and stay at home until you receive the result.

What should I do after I have a coronavirus test?

After you’ve been tested, you must go straight home and stay home while you wait for your results.

Do not go to work or go out shopping.

Your doctor or the clinic where you were tested will contact you by phone or SMS to tell you your results.

If you are worried you will lose pay while you wait for your results, you may be eligible for a $450 Coronavirus (COVID-19) Test Isolation Payment.

What happens if I test positive for COVID-19?

As a potential close contact, even if you have no symptoms of coronavirus, if you test positive for the virus, you must self-isolate at your home or accommodation to reduce the risk of spreading it to others.

A public health worker from the Department of Health and Human Services will contact you to advise you of the next steps, including how long you will need to isolate.

You must stay home during your isolation period. You must not go to work or go shopping or go out to exercise.

As coronavirus is highly infectious, if you do not stay at home, you will put others at risk.

If you are worried you will lose pay because you need to stay home to isolate, you may be eligible for a $1500 Coronavirus Worker Support Payment.

If your condition gets worse, contact your GP. If you become very unwell and are having trouble breathing, call Triple Zero.

When will I be able to leave isolation after a positive test for coronavirus?

You will be able to leave isolation when the following criteria are met:

Once DHHS, or an authorised health worker, has assessed that you meet these criteria, you will be given written clearance that you are no longer required to isolate.

You will then (and only then) be able to return to your normal activities in line with your local restrictions.

I am a close contact — what happens if I test negative?

You still need to complete 14 days of quarantine.

The incubation period for coronavirus is up to 14 days.

If a test taken during this time was negative, even if you feel well, it does not mean that you will not develop coronavirus.

Even if you do not have symptoms, you will be asked to take another test on day 11 of your quarantine.

You will receive specific instructions when required. A negative test result from this second test does not release you from quarantine.

You must still complete the 14-day quarantine period to ensure that you don’t develop coronavirus.

If you do not get a second test at or around day 11, your quarantine period will be extended.

If you have any unanswered questions about the Shepparton outbreak, call the GV Health hotline between 8 am and 8 pm on 1800 313 070.
