What do I do if I have cancer and COVIDSafe tells me I may have been exposed to COVID-19?

If the COVIDSafe app alerts you that you may be have exposed to COVID-19 you will be asked to click a box in the app to upload your information to the national COVIDSafe team who will contact you with further advice.   You should also contact your treating team to let them know. They will be able to advise you on the best steps to take for your circumstances.   It is important to remember that just because you may have been exposed to the virus does not mean you will definitely have contracted the virus, however it is important that you take all necessary precautions if you think you may have been exposed.
