If you are sharing your home with others, you must:
- remain separated from others and sleep in a separate bedroom
- wear a surgical mask if it is necessary to be in the same room as another person (even if they are also in isolation)
- use a separate bathroom, if available. If not available, ensure the bathroom is thoroughly cleaned with a household disinfectant between uses.
- avoid shared or communal areas and wear a surgical mask if it is necessary to move through these areas
- not be in a room with people who are at risk of severe disease, such as elderly people, immunocompromised people, and those who have heart, lung or kidney conditions, or diabetes.
You cannot self-isolate at home if a member of your household is a 'designated worker.' This means someone who is a registered health practitioner, works in a public or private hospital or residential care facility, or is an NDIS worker. If a member of your household is a designated worker, you will need to quarantine in a government quarantine facility.
