We ask those who have vis­it­ed a pos­si­ble expo­sure site to observe their symp­toms and to seek out coro­n­avirus test­ing even if they only have mild symp­toms. You can eas­i­ly book an appoint­ment for coro­n­avirus test­ing through the Omaolo ser­vice or via Soite’s Coro­n­avirus Helpline 06 828 7499 / via the children’s hos­pi­tal, phone 06 826 4444.

Please note that if you have vis­it­ed a pos­si­ble expo­sure site but do not have any symp­toms, you do not need to con­tact Soite by phone. It is enough that you fol­low the coro­n­avirus instruc­tions i.e. reduce the num­ber of close con­tacts as much as pos­si­ble, avoid unnec­es­sary social gath­er­ings, are care­ful to use a pro­tec­tive mask, main­tain a safe­ty dis­tance of at least 2 meters and main­tain good hand hygiene. If you get even mild symp­toms, book an appoint­ment for coro­n­avirus testing.
