Got mild COVID-19 symptoms? Get the right help for your recovery.

Vaccinations provide good protection against COVID-19 and mean that most people will be able to recover from their illness at home.

Managing COVID-19 at home when you have milder symptoms is safe and appropriate, and ensures hospital beds are kept free for people who are seriously unwell and need urgent medical treatment.

• For mild symptoms: rest and recover at home.
• For worsening symptoms: Contact Nurse on Call 1300 606 024, your local GP (Timboon Clinic 5558 6088), or your local pharmacist.
• For severe symptoms: get immediate help and call Triple Zero (000) if it’s urgent.
