Reduced quarantine period and only one negative swab to declare recovery. Also to decongest the detection system that has gotten into trouble in recent days.
The Scientific Technical Committee has given the green light to a relaxation of the measures related to the exit from quarantine and yesterday the Ministry of Health updated the indications with a circular. First of all, the document clarifies that “the isolation of cases of documented infection by Sars Cov2 refers to the separation of infected people from the rest of the community during the period of contagion, in an environment and conditions that prevent the transmission of infection. “.
While quarantine “refers to the restriction of the movement of healthy people during the incubation period, but who may have been exposed to an infectious agent or a contagious disease, with the aim of monitoring the possible appearance of symptoms and identifying new cases. punctually “.
Having clarified the distinction, here are the new rules that cover all cases for positive or positive Covid19 suspects. Asymptomatic positives are expected to return to the community “after a period of isolation of at least 10 days from the appearance of positivity, at the end of which a negative molecular test is performed: ten days plus tests.”
For symptomatic positives, sick patients who have had fever and cough, termination of isolation will be possible “after at least 10 days from the onset of symptoms” and after having performed “a negative molecular test performed after at at least 3 days without symptoms. ” : 10 days, of which at least 3 days without symptoms and the test.
New rules also for those who turn negative after many weeks while perfectly healed. For this type “in case of absence of symptoms for at least a week”, the isolation can be interrupted “after 21 days from the onset of symptoms”. A recommended criterion but that must have the endorsement of the treating physician also depending on the general conditions of the patient.
Finally, the case that concerns all those who have had close contact with a positive but who have not shown symptoms or positivity: the quarantine of 14 days after exposure can be reduced to ten days if an antigenic or molecular test is performed that gives Outcome. negative.
In the circular, however, it is recommended to carry out the molecular test at the end of quarantine “to all people who live or come in regular contact with fragile subjects or those at risk of complications.” For example, if you live with an older person or a person with a chronic illness, it is good to be safe from your negativity. It is not considered necessary to quarantine or test for close contacts of close contacts, that is, if there was no direct contact with the positive.
