Had Covid? A New Exemption Means You Don’t Need To Test or Isolate Within Eight Weeks

The Victorian Department of Health has announced changes to testing and isolation requirements for those who have recovered from Covid-19.

Now, for eight weeks after your isolation period ends, you no longer have to test or isolate if you’re re-exposed to a positive case.

If you have recovered from COVID-19, you aren’t required to get tested or isolate if you are re-exposed to a case within 8 weeks of ending your isolation period.

After the eight-week exemption period is over, however, you must follow the relevant advice depending on the type of contact you are.
