Most cases of COVID-19 are mild with flu-like symptoms and can be managed at home. Older and immunocompromised people are at higher risk- may need specific antiviral treatments prescribed by their healthcare provider.

There are 2 types of tests that can detect if you have the COVID-19 virus:

  • polymerase chain reaction (PCR, or RT-PCR)
  • rapid antigen self-tests (RATs).

If your RAT or PCR test returns a positive result you must isolate at home-check DOH website above for duration of isolation.
