There is no requirement to self isolate after a Covid test awaiting for results, and the MoH website and the flyer you get at the time all says this. You are only required to self isolate if you have had symptoms, and the person performing the test will provide you with further information - this is assuming of source that you have actually told them you've had symptoms.

 

 

but why not? if your having the test, on some level you or someone else thinks it could be covid, as why else get tested, even if it is the remotest of chances. you should be isolating till you get the results, as should anyone else in your "bubble". if its negative carry on with your life as normal, if its positive at least you and your bubbles movement has been restricted for a few days.

 

Yes everybody should be self isolating after getting a test. That seems common sense. The issue however is that is not the advice that has been given out for months to everybody across NZ who undergoes a test.

Here's the latest info (2nd Feb 2021) for example from the CCDHB healthinfo site which will be based on being at level 1. A quick sarch shows so much conflicting information across so many sites, and some dbig differences across DHB's. It is understandable how there can be confusion out there.
