The Superintendent for Public Health has issued a reminder on what one should do if they test positive for Covid-19 through either a PCR test or a rapid test.

In a statement, the health authorities said that if a person receives a positive Covid-19 test – be it a swab test or a rapid test – then they must isolate for 14 days immediately from the moment they receive the test result.

The same 14-day mandatory quarantine period applies to any person living in the same residence.

People who test positive, the authorities said, should prepare a list of close contacts which they had in the two days prior to the positive test or since they developed symptoms – depending which came first.

The authorities also took the opportunity to encourage everyone to take up the invitation for the Covid-19 vaccine and appealed to everyone to keep on following the current Covid-19 regulations.
