Look after yourself while recovering from COVID-19
Look after yourself while recovering from COVID-19
17 August 2022
WA Health is reminding people to look after themselves while recovering from COVID-19 infection.
Most people with COVID-19 recover completely within a few weeks, while others may find it takes time for their energy levels to return to normal.
After having COVID-19, you should:
- schedule medical or health appointments you may have missed while in isolation
- stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccination - book your next vaccination for 3 months after COVID-19 infection, if due
- consult your GP for advice and treatment if COVID-19 symptoms persist more than two months after initial infection
If you develop new COVID-19 symptoms within 4 weeks of ending isolation, when there is a small risk of reinfection, stay home until well. If you get new symptoms more than 4 weeks after initial infection, get tested.
