What do I need to do if I was onsite at the time of an exposure?
As a student:
If you do not have any COVID-19 related symptoms, it is recommended that you use a daily rapid antigen test for 5 days. You can come to TAFE during this time if the result is negative. If you don’t have symptoms and cannot access a rapid antigen test, then monitor for symptoms and get tested if symptoms emerge.
If you are symptomatic, you must use a rapid antigen test, or get a PCR test if you can’t access a rapid antigen test. COVID-19 symptoms include fever, sore throat, cough, shortness of breath and loss or change in sense of smell or taste. For more information on symptoms, please visit: https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/symptoms-and-risks
If you have had COVID-19 already in the last 4 weeks:
After recovering from COVID-19, you are not required to get tested or quarantine if you are re-exposed to a case within 4 weeks of ending your isolation period.
Please do not come to TAFE while you are symptomatic or until you have a negative test result.
