An outdated Covid-19 fact sheet is circulating on social media advising people not to worry about isolating after getting a test. The fact sheet is legitimate but issued prior to October last year and a spokesperson for Northern Region DHBs is urging people to ignore the advice. The fact sheet tells people to "go about your life as usual in the current alert level while you wait for your result (you don't need to self-isolate)". "We are aware of an old version of a fact-sheet circulating online titled "COVID-19 Testing: Information for people who do not have COVID-19 symptoms". She said it made sense the vaccination programme started there as it was higher risk and where the majority of border staff lived.
