COVID-19 UPDATE

​

Did you know that there is a new update on SA Health?

The potential for re-infection window is reduced from 12 weeks to 28 days.

If exposed to COVID-19 after 28 days of finishing isolation, get a PCR test if you develop symptoms and follow the close contact guidelines if you are exposed to COVID-19 after 28 days of finishing isolation

​

Are you aware close contacts must not attend Tier 2 (Allied Health) settings for 7 days.
