If a result is positive you will hear back within 48 hours. Negative tests can take a bit longer to return.
- If your test result is negative you will get sent a text message. You may still need to self-isolate after your negative test result, or have more tests.
- If your test result is positive a health professional will call you with advice on what to do next.
If you are waiting for the results of a COVID-19 test it is important you stay home until you get a negative result, and have been symptom free for at least 24 hours.
If you cannot work because you are waiting for a test result you should still get paid. Your employer can apply for the COVID-19 Short-Term Absence Payment to cover your wages.

Symptoms can include one or more of the following:
- a new or worsening cough
- sneezing and runny nose
- a fever
- temporary loss of smell or altered sense of taste
- sore throat

- diarrhoea
- headache

- nausea
- vomiting
- malaise — a general feeling of discomfort, illness or unease
- chest pain
- abdominal pain
- joint pain
- confusion or irritability
These less common symptoms almost always occur with one or more of the common symptoms.
These symptoms do not necessarily mean you have COVID-19. The symptoms are like other illnesses that are much more common, such as colds and flu.
Shortness of breath is a sign of possible pneumonia and requires immediate medical attention.
If you have any of these symptoms, contact your doctor, Healthline on 0800 358 5453 or your iwi health provider.
