According to the circular, patients with mild symptoms or those who are asymptomatic must observe a total of seventeen days of a home quarantine period without reduction, the administration said.
The notice further nullified reports by some media outlets that the home quarantine period for asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients in Mumbai has been changed from 14 days to 10 days. “That is inappropriate,” authorities said in the circular. In contrast, the revised instructions now require a total of 17 days of separation. A detailed explanation is being given so that misconceptions do not spread in people’s minds due to media coverage.

Patients with mild or asymptomatic symptoms can recover quickly by isolating themselves at home and taking appropriate medication. Said patients will be considered to have been discharged on the recommendation of the Corporation’s Medical Officers (Health) Squad after remaining in home isolation for ten days from the date of instruction. For this, the patient in question must provide updated information on the condition to the team of Medical Officer (Health) of his department after the end of ten days. Then the patient should observe the home separation for the next seven days, like all other patients. That means a total of seventeen days of separation from home must be completed, ten plus seven. There is no discount, please note.
The period of separation must be properly respected with fluid cooperation, appealed the Executive Health Official on behalf of the Department of Public Health, Dr. Mangala Gomare.
