People exposed to a COVID-19 case
As the number of people with COVID-19 increases, NSW Health is focusing on contacting people at highest risk of contracting COVID-19. You may not receive a text message or call from NSW Health after being exposed to a person with COVID-19.
If you are told by someone that you have been in contact with a person who has COVID-19, use the advice below to understand your risk and what you can do to protect yourself, your family and your community.
You are at risk of developing COVID-19 in the 14 days after you were last in contact with someone with the virus. Most people who develop COVID-19 will get it in the first 7 days – this is your highest risk period. However, around a quarter of cases will develop COVID-19 between day 7 and 14. This means there is ongoing risk during this time.
