COVID-19

Managing COVID at home

Most people who test positive for COVID-19 will likely only experience mild symptoms and recover without requiring special treatment or hospitalisation, especially if fully vaccinated. The majority will be able to self-manage their illness with the assistance of their GP.

 

If you want to talk to your GP about your results or any symptoms please make a telehealth appointment.
