Because you have symptoms of COVID-19, you must self-isolate. This means do not go to public places, stay at home, and do not have any visitors.
To determine if you need to get tested for COVID-19, complete the COVID-19 Self-Assessment and Test Reporting Tool. If the self-assessment tool determines you require testing, a booking clerk/Public Health Official will be in touch with you to book a date, time and location for your test.
- If you cannot access the self-assessment tool, please contact 1-833-951-3859.
- If you feel very sick and are not certain an online assessment is right for you, contact your family doctor or nurse practitioner, or contact 811. In a medical emergency, always contact 911 or visit the nearest emergency department.
If your symptoms resolve before you get your test result, you should stay home until you get your test result to make sure you do not have COVID-19.
Other members of your household do not need to self-isolate while you are waiting for your test result.
If your test is negative, you should self-isolate until 24 hours after your symptoms improve. If you test positive, follow the guidance for positive cases.
If you need help in determining your self-isolation requirements, please call 1-833-951-3859 from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily. You can also email covid19info@gov.nl.ca with any questions you may have. This email is monitored from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday to Friday.
