What to do if you come in contact with a positive COVID-19 when not wearing a face mask

June 22, 2022

Due to the step down of surgical face masks in some wards and areas, colleagues should follow the below actions if they’re not wearing a face mask and have contact with a positive case of COVID-19.

  • Daily lateral flow test to be taken for seven days
  • Fluid resistant surgical masks to be worn for seven days

Note: If a patient is a contact of a positive colleague, they would also be a contact and would need to be monitored for symptoms and lateral flow daily.
