Guidelines for a person diagnosed with COVID-19

In the past two weeks, the Club has been informed that several members and staff have tested positive for COVID-19.

In response, we are taking additional precautions to ensure the safety of everyone. To help protect yourself and others, we would like to share the important information below.

Please review the following guidelines to stay informed and reduce the spread of the virus in our community.

Best regards

What should is do if I test positive?

It is strongly recommended that you stay home and take steps to protect others. You may be infectious for up to 10 days. You are most infectious in the 2 days before your symptoms start and while you have acute symptoms (such as a runny nose, sore throat, fever, cough). Some people with COVID-19 do not develop symptoms at all but are still able to infect others.

To reduce the risk to others, it is recommended you:

1. Stay home until your acute symptoms have gone.
2. Wear a mask to protect others if you have symptoms and need to leave home
3. If you are at higher risk of severe illness, speak with your doctor as soon as you test positive.
4. Don’t visit people at higher risk of severe illness, anyone in hospital or an aged or disability care facility for at least 7 days
5. Avoid gatherings and indoor crowded places, especially where you will be in contact with groups of people you don’t live with
6. You should talk to your workplace about working from home, where possible.
7. People you live with or spend a lot of time indoors with are at greatest risk of catching COVID-19 from you. You should tell them you have tested positive and try to separate from them as much as possible.
