What Happens When You Test Positive For COVID-19?

As restrictions ease across Australia many of us are petrified of catching COVID-19 as we increasingly mingle and reintegrate into 'normal' life, but what actually happens if you take a test and it comes back positive? The Quicky speaks to a Sydney woman who contracted the virus with her husband even though they were both vaccinated, and a GP to discuss the whole process from being diagnosed, then treated for COVID-19, to making a recovery. CREDITS Host/Producer: Claire Murphy Executive Producer: Siobhán Moran-McFarlane Audio Producer: Ian Camilleri Guests: Gemma - Based in Sydney’s inner west and had her second vaccination just two weeks before she contracted COVID-19. Dr Brad McKay - Science communicator, TV host, author and podcaster who works as a GP in Sydney.
