26 September 2022
The Health Services Directorate would like to advise the public of the following:
- Due to a decline in the number of positive cases and calls to the COVID-19 Helpline, with effect from today, Monday 26 September 2022, the COVID-19 Helpline (tel: 25888) will be in operation between 8am and 4pm on a daily basis, including the weekends.
- Persons who test positive are reminded that they are advised to isolate for five days, then return to work or continue their normal daily routines on day six. For example: if a person tests positive on a Monday, their isolation period is completed on a Saturday and can therefore re-enter the community on Saturday. You DO NOT need to re-test after the isolation period is completed.
- Persons who have had a COVID-19 test done independently are reminded that if a positive test result is received, to please report this to the Health Services via the COVID-19 Helpline so the Health Services can track and analyse the rate of infection and update your medical record. Please inform the Helpline Operator of the date you tested positive.
- If you tested positive last week or the week before and have not phoned in your result, we would still like to have your result to update your medical records.
