Covid Newsletter of October 23 After receiving the result of the swab, asymptomatic positives must remain isolated for at least 10 days, at the end of which they must certify their negativity with a molecular test performed at the end of the isolation period (not before). Even symptomatic positives, with the exception of hospital admissions that could considerably lengthen treatment, may return to the community after a period of isolation of at least 10 days from the onset of symptoms accompanied by a negative molecular test. In this case, however, the test should be performed after at least three symptom-free days, excluding more persistent changes in taste and smell.

Small medical check, in case of bad luck positivity to Sars-Cov-2. The new circular of Ministry of Health, effective October 12, delivered on time indications. The first is that all positive subjects must remain absolutely in isolation. Insulation – measure other than quarantine, reserved for people still negative, but at risk of becoming ill as a result of close contact – it is achieved by separating “infected people from the rest of the community during the period of contagion”, in an environment and conditions that prevent viral transmission.

The Covid newsletter of October 23

Received onswab result, me asymptomatic positive must remain isolated by at least 10 days, at the end of which they will have to attest to their negativity with a molecular test carried out at the end of the isolation period (not before). Even symptomatic positives, except for hospital admissions that could considerably lengthen treatment, may return to the community after a period of isolation of at least 10 days from the onset of symptoms accompanied by a negative molecular test. In this case, however, the test should be performed after at least three days without symptoms, excluding alterations of taste and smell – of greater persistence.

Scientists say: “We need drastic measures in 2-3 days”

me long-term positive – that is, subjects who, although they no longer present symptoms, continue to test positive in the molecular test – can instead interrupt isolation only after 21 days from the onset of symptoms, provided they have been absent for at least one week ( always except loss of taste and smell).

Sileri: “No to the buffer race”

In case of Immuni app notification close contact with a positive subject, it is necessary to contact a GP or local health authority and cautiously quarantine for 14 days (measure in force even in cases of close contacts traced not electronically). After 10 days it will be possible to leave the quarantine early with a negative molecular test. If the test is positive, the above specifications will be valid and it will be the responsibility of the patient to notify Immuni.

1) I have the symptoms of Covid

If I have a fever of at least 37.5 degrees, have a dry cough, or feel particularly exhausted, I have to stay indoors. Other less common symptoms are: sore throat, stuffy or runny nose, diarrhea, conjunctivitis, headache, partial or total loss of taste and smell.

Call the doctor

Call your doctor immediately. You should not go to the emergency room or the GP’s office, because the risk is infecting other people.

When to rub

Your family doctor will decide whether you should get tested right away or wait a few days at home to see if your symptoms get better or worse. Our doctor will always tell us where to test.

What if the first swab is negative?

We are not sick with Covid. We can go back and leave the house. If symptoms do not disappear or reappear, the GP should be called immediately.

What if the first swab is positive?

Anyone infected with the coronavirus must enter isolation. If symptoms worsen, you should call your GP to see if you need to go to 118. After ten days, if there have been no symptoms in the last 72 hours, a new tampon can be ordered. If the second buffer is negative, you can break out of isolation. If the second swab is positive, it will be possible to leave the isolation only after 21 days from the first manifestation of the disease, if it has lasted at least 21 days and in the last week there have been no symptoms.

2) I have a positive family member or colleague

The first thing we must establish is whether or not we can define ourselves as close contact. If you have any symptoms, you should call your doctor immediately.

Who is close contact

Anyone who has been face to face with a positive within 2 meters of distance, for at least 15 minutes and without wearing a mask. Who has been indoors for a long time with a positive and without wearing the mask. Anyone who has had direct physical contact with a positive, for example, has shaken hands or came into contact with its secretions, for example by touching a handkerchief to blow a used nose. Who among the health personnel does not use adequate individual protection measures.

What if I am in close contact?

The asymptomatic close contact should remain in quarantine for 14 days from the time they had their last contact with the positive person, if the encounter occurred within 48 hours before that person was swabbed.

When the quarantine is over

At the end of the two weeks, the asymptomatic close contact does not have to swab, unless health authorities have asked them to undergo testing.

How can I reduce the quarantine time?

Close contact can be swabbed after ten days from the last contact with the positive case: if the test is negative, the quarantine ends immediately. If the swab is successful, the close contact becomes officially infected and therefore must be isolated.

3) I received a notification from Immuni

The notification means that you have come into contact with a positive person. No one but us knows that we have received the notification.

Call the doctor

The application request is to contact our doctor and, pending instructions from the doctor himself or from the ASL, stay at home for 14 days after the date of contact communicated in the notification.

How to shorten the quarantine

Ten days after the last contact with the positive person, a swab can be done. If the test is negative, the quarantine ends immediately. If the tampon is successful, close contact is officially infected and therefore must be isolated.

When I have to take a tampon

Ten days after the last contact with the positive person, a swab can be done. If the test is negative, the quarantine ends immediately. If the tampon is successful, close contact is officially infected and therefore must be isolated.

What if i test positive

I will have to isolate myself and act accordingly. I will be able to decide whether to report my positivity to the Immuni app. Everyone who has contacted me will receive a notification.
