We know it can be difficult to understand the difference between the COVID-19 contact types, including close contact, secondary contact, and casual contact, so here is a helpful overview:

🟥 Close contacts have a high risk of infection – this could be because they spent a long time with, or were in a confined space alongside, a person with COVID-19.

🟧 Casual contacts have a lower risk of exposure – they may have been outside or spent a short time in a large venue with the confirmed case.

🟨 Secondary contacts have been close to a ‘close contact’ since they were exposed to COVID-19.

🟩 Monitor for symptoms means there is a low risk of transmission – this could be because they have been in an area that is near a COVID-19 exposure location.

The ACT Government has developed a useful guide that outlines the different contact types, and what you must do if you identify as one. You can find all the information you need to know here: www.covid19.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0012/1826949/COVID-19-Close-contacts-creatives_Info...
