If you have been to any of the casual contact exposure locations at the dates and time listed, you are a casual contact.

You must:

  • complete the ACT Contact Declaration Form
  • immediately quarantine
  • get tested for COVID-19 as advised by ACT Health.

The number of tests you need, depends on how many days ago you were at the exposure location.

The day you were at the exposure location counts as day zero.

If you were at the casual contact exposure location less than four days ago, you will need two tests.

  • You need to get a test as soon as you find out you are a casual contact.
  • You will need to get another test on day five after you were at the casual contact exposure location.
  • You need to remain in quarantine until you receive a negative test result from the second COVID-19 test.

If you were at the casual contact location four or more days ago, you only need to get one test

  • You should get tested as soon as possible.
  • You will need to remain in quarantine until you receive a negative test result.

There is a difference in the testing times for casual contacts. This is because you may return a negative test result in the first few days after exposure, even if you have COVID-19.

  • Get tested again for COVID-19 if you experience any symptoms, no matter how mild.
