the end of mandatory isolation in the stateNSW Health is asking people to continue the practice of registering their test voluntarily. Previously, failing to do so could result in a $1000 fine.People who test positive to COVID-19 on a rapid test will no longer need to register the result.
"Registering a positive RAT through Service NSW allows us to connect people to medical care, particularly older people and the immunocompromised, and it also helps inform our ongoing public health response," Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said. She also urged people to continue to stay home if they are sick with cold or flu-like symptoms and monitor their health if they're close contacts of a case.
"If you have COVID-19 you may be infectious for up to 10 days but you are most infectious in the two days before your symptoms start and while you have symptoms," Chant said. "If you have to leave the house while unwell, wear a mask when indoors and on public transport, avoid large gatherings and indoor crowded places, and don't visit high risk settings, such as hospitals, aged or disability care facilities for at least seven days."
