You can end your self-isolation 7 days after your symptoms started or you tested positive, whichever came first.
You do not need to wait for an official message to leave self-isolation. You may receive a text message confirming your self-isolation period has ended.
You do not need a negative RAT result to return to work or school.
If you are still sick
Some people can still be infectious after 7 days. If you are still sick at the end of your self-isolation period, stay home until you are well and for 24 hours after you no longer have symptoms.
Household Contacts
Your Household Contacts can complete their isolation at the same time as you, as long as their Day 7 test was negative and they have no new or worsening symptoms.
If they test positive, they need to begin 7 days of isolation as someone with COVID-19.
If someone you live with gets COVID-19
You do not need to isolate as a Household Contact for 90 days from when you first tested positive if someone else in your household gets COVID-19 during this time.
The chance of you being reinfected with COVID-19 in the 90 days after testing positive is low.
