A new circular of Ministry of Health therefore it changes the indications on how many days the quarantine of positives and close contacts should last, as well as the amount of buffers necessary to leave isolation. For him asymptomatic positive quarantine becomes 10 days (as long as you have a negative swab) as well as for i positive symptoms (but the negative swab should be done after at least 3 days without symptoms).
On the other hand, those who have no symptoms but still have a positive buffer, can come out of isolation after 21 days. The situation is different for close contacts of positives, who must observe a period of 14 days quarantine (which is reduced to 10 as long as you do the swab).
