Contact persons must now be segregated by the authorities for 14 days.
In Burgenland, the quarantine for Covid-19 sufferers and contact persons has been extended. The latter now have to be segregated by authorities for 14 days, a spokeswoman for the Coronavirus coordination staff said on Sunday at the request of the APA. For infected people and people with symptoms, the quarantine now applies “until further notice” due to the high incidence.
Many tests
Sick people will be examined again on the seventh day of quarantine, he said. After further examination, the discharge may stop from day 10 if another PCR test is negative or the Ct value, which determines infectivity, is greater than 30. Also, no symptoms should have appeared for at least 48 hours. If a test is positive, regular tests are done at “smaller intervals.”
Category 1 contacts can shorten their discharge to 10 days if both the sample taken on the 7th day and another sample on the 10th day are negative and there are no obvious symptoms. According to the spokesperson, contact persons who test positive cannot count the quarantine they have already completed against those infected.
