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.
