Testing
Testing continues to play an important part in our response to COVID-19.
If you’re symptomatic, please stay at home and get a test.
If you’re unsure whether or not to get a test, please contact your health professional or Health on 0800 358 5453 and follow advice.
If you test positive for COVID-19, you are required to isolate for 7 days. You do not need to be retested after your initial positive result. If you still have symptoms after 7 days, stay home until you feel better and then wait another 24 hours.
Your household contacts should also stay at home, have tests at day 3 and 7 or if they develop symptoms.
NOTE: Work is underway to determine the discrepancy between the Ministry of Health recovered case numbers and those provided by NMH. For recovered cases please refer to COVID-19: Current cases | Ministry of Health NZ
