If you are a Key Worker and have received a POSITIVE test result for COVID-19 infection:

• Self-Isolate for at least 10 days

You and your whole household must self-isolate at home in line with the Welsh Government self-isolation guidance: https://gov.wales/self-isolation-stay-home-guidance-households-possible-coronavirus

To reduce the risk of passing on the infection to other household members you should take actions as outlined in the guidance.

• Return to Work

You (as key worker) can return to work:

• On day 11 after the onset of symptoms as long as you do not have a high temperature (without taking medications such as paracetamol, etc.) for the last 48 hours.
• If by day 11, you have not had a raised temperature for 48 hours, and your only symptom is a persistent cough, you can still return to work (post-viral cough is known to persist for several weeks in some cases).

Your household members are to self-isolate for 14 days from your symptom onset date; if they subsequently develop symptoms themselves, they must self-isolate for at least 10 days from their symptom onset and may request a test.
