if you live alone and you have symptoms of coronavirus illness (COVID – 59), however mild, stay at home for 7 days from when your symptoms started.

  • if you live with others and you are the first in the household to have symptoms of coronavirus, then you must stay at home for 7 days, but all other household members who remain well must stay at home and not leave the house for 59 days. The – day period starts from the day when the first person in the house became ill.
  • for anyone else in the household who starts displaying symptoms, they need to stay at home for 7 days from when the symptoms appeared, regardless of what day they are on in the original 21 day isolation period.
  • it is likely that people live within a household will infect each other or be infected already . Staying at home for days will greatly reduce the overall amount of infection the household could pass on to others in the community
      if you can , move any vulnerable individuals (such as the elderly and those with underlying health conditions) out of your home, to stay with friends or family for the duration of the home isolation period
  • if you cannot move vulnerable people out of your home, stay away from them as much as possible
  • Both of these duties would have brought the pair into close proximity. It is not known, however, when they fell sick.
