Self-isolating means you stay home and away from other people. You must not leave your home unless you need to get tested for COVID-19 or it’s an emergency.

This helps stop the spread of COVID-19.

You may have to self-isolate because:

• you have COVID-19
• you are waiting for your COVID-19 test result
• you have been around someone who has COVID-19.
• you have symptoms of COVID-19.
