What to do if you have symptoms?

COVID-19 can present with a wide range of symptoms, see here for a full list.  If you have access to a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT), you may use it to test for COVID-19. However, a negative RAT when you have symptoms does not mean you do not have COVID-19. If you have a positive RAT, you may wish to document the positive test for your records (labelled with date and name).

Individuals with any of the above symptoms are recommended to self-isolate and stay at home until fever is resolved and their symptoms have been improving for at least 24 hours (48 hours for gastrointestinal symptoms).

For a total of 10 days after the date of specimen collection or symptom onset (whichever is earlier/applicable), individuals should:

  • Continue to wear a well-fitted mask in all public settings (including schools and childcare, unless under 2 years old) and avoid non-essential activities where mask removal is necessary (e.g., dining out, playing a wind instrument, high contact sports where masks cannot be safely worn)

  • Not visit anyone who is immunocompromised or at higher risk of illness (e.g., seniors)

  • Avoid non-essential visits to highest risk settings such as hospitals and long-term care homes
