COVID-19 testing

1. Communication: Notify the HQ team via covid@lively.org.au. We will get in touch as soon as possible to check how you’re going, gather more information and provide further instructions.

2. Testing & Isolation: Isolate at home according to the latest government guidelines. We will reach out to make sure you have proper support in place for that time.

3. Returning to work: Resume sessions with members after 7 days, provided you are symptom-free. If you are not symptom-free by this time, you can return to work with members once you have been symptom-free for 72 hours.

• • Example: If you test positive on a Monday, you may return to work the following Monday.

See below for more information about accessing support while you're isolating. You're not alone!

1. Testing & Isolation: Please take a rapid antigen test on any days when you have these symptoms.

2. Returning to work: You can continue working provided you return a negative result for COVID-19.

3. Communication: You are not required to communicate with Lively HQ unless you return a positive test result.

If you receive a positive result, follow steps for ‘I have returned a positive PCR test for COVID-19’.

Exception: if you have had COVID-19 in the last 28 days, this testing requirement does not apply. This is because research suggests you have elevated immunity to COVID-19 and are at a lower risk of reinfection.

These are some of the scenarios where this might apply:

• You have had contact with a confirmed COVID case.

• You attended an indoor event or venue with limited social distancing and where masks may not have been worn.

• You attended an event or location where another attendee tested positive.

• You recently travelled on a plane.

1. Testing & Isolation: Please take a rapid antigen test before your next session and monitor for symptoms.

2. Returning to work: You can continue working provided you return a negative test result.

3. Communication: You are not required to communicate with Lively HQ unless you return a positive test result.

Exception: if you have had COVID-19 in the last 28 days, this requirement does not apply. This is because research suggests you have elevated immunity to COVID-19 and are at a lower risk of reinfection.
