Therefore, an uninfected person should stop for a few days to monitor symptoms and ensure early detection of cases. On the other hand, isolation relates to positive people who should be kept as far as possible from healthy people during the transmission period.

Only those who have “close contacts” (the government’s definition) with an infected person go into quarantine. The Ministry of Health has set very clear rules: anyone who has been in close proximity to an infected person must remain in quarantine for 7 days if vaccinated with the second dose and 10 days in all other cases. After this period it is necessary to make a file molecular test Or an antigen so you can go back to work or leave the house without restrictions.

The virus spreads if contact with a positive person continues for a long time. For example, if a positivity is detected in the family, all cohabitants must quarantine themselves. Even a conversation without a mask with an infected person that lasts more than a quarter of an hour is considered “close contact”, even a positive handshake is considered “dangerous”.
4) Should someone who has traveled with a positive person enter quarantine?
If the trip is by car, the answer is yes. For aircraft, unless otherwise specified by health authorities, passengers who were two rows away from the positive do not have to stop. This is allocated by the Ministry of Health.

Quarantine cannot be avoided. Everyone who has come into contact with a positive should stop even after 24 or 48 hours who have taken a swab that gives a negative result. The correct test for exit from quarantine can be done after 7 days (for two-dose vaccination) or after 10 days for all others.

The ministry recommends taking precautionary measures at home as well: you should keep the mask at home and never eat with the person in quarantine. The person who called positive should sleep alone and use only one room. When using the bathroom, he should clean it and possibly not share it with other people in the house.
