If you test positive, you are strongly encouraged to isolate (stay home and away from other people) for at least 5 full days, to prevent spreading the disease to others.

Most people with COVID-19 will no longer be infectious to others after 5 days. If you have a positive COVID-19 test result, try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 5 days after the day you took your test. There is different advice for children and young people aged 18 and under.

Because coronavirus is transmitted through close contact with someone who is infected, it's common for the virus to spread within homes. But a positive diagnosis for one person doesn't always mean others will be infected.

Maintaining an active lifestyle during the COVID-19 pandemic is a challenge, as opportunities to be physically active seem to be more limited. Therefore, it is even more important to plan our daily physical activity and reduce the time we spend in a sitting position.
