How COVID at-home isolation should be done according to health authorities

• If you test positive for COVID-19, your close household members will need to isolate
• You should stay in a separate room and use a different bathroom.
• Family members not involved in your care should consider moving out for the period — especially the elderly and those with compromised immunity.
• You should keep your distance and wear a face mask when other family members are close.
• Disinfect the surfaces in shared areas such as taps, benches, and door handles with a household disinfectant daily.
• COVID at home typically lasts for seven days. However, it is extended to ten days if there are still COVID-related symptoms.
• The COVID@Home team may send people isolating at-home monitoring kits in Australia, for checking oxygen levels, heart rate, and skin temperature. A smartphone app relays back such vital signs externally.
