The method of determining a positive COVID-19 case is through testing. The
individual's vaccine status does not change that.

Subject: Official Information request - Differences Between Vaccinated and
Unvaccinated : Process of Determining a Covid-19 case
 
Dear Ministry of Health,

Are there any differences in the process/method to determine whether
someone has Covid-19 / is a Covid-19 case, based on their vaccination
status?

What is the method used to define whether a fully vaccinated person has
Covid-19 / is a Covid-19 case?

What is the method used to define whether a partially vaccinated person
has Covid-19 / is a Covid-19 case?

What is the method used to define whether an unvaccinated person has
Covid-19 / is a Covid-19 case?

Yours faithfully,

John Carey
