If you test positive for Covid-19 you need to self-isolate even if you are feeling ok. This means staying in your accommodation and avoiding contact with others to minimise the risk of spreading the infection.
You should also inform anybody that you live with and any close contacts as they will also need to self-isolate.
You should also inform us that you have tested positive, and are self-isolating through this form so we can ensure that you are supported through your period of self-isolation.
