If you test positive for COVID-19, it is likely your symptoms will be mild and you can recover safely at home. Here's what to do next.

13/01/2022

If a patient tests positive in a rapid antigen test (RAT) it is very likely that they have COVID-19 and must immediately isolate and report their positive test result so they can be contacted for support.

If they are unable to complete the above form or need help, they can call 134 COVID (134 268).

Note: if they took a PCR test at a testing clinic and received an SMS with a positive result, they do not need to report it. The testing clinic will report it to Queensland Health directly.
