Temporary exemption from isolation if you have contracted COVID-19

There has been an extension to the period of time from 30 days to 8 weeks for the temporary exemption from isolation if you have contracted COVID-19.  The School Operations Guide has been updated to reflect this changed advice.

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

After 8 weeks, you must follow the relevant advice depending on the type of contact you are.
