“Redefine quarantine and fiduciary isolation”. This is the purpose of today’s meeting of the Scientific Technical Committee.
The CTS, “in line with international guidelines and adopting the principle of maximum caution, underlines the need – as expressed in a press release – to update the diagnostic process for the identification of positive cases, as well as the timely return to context of the diagnosed subjects “. Similarly, the Committee “redefined the criteria for fiduciary isolation from close contacts of confirmed virus-positive cases.”
These, the different conditions and the related redefinition of the quarantine or fiduciary isolation periods:
one) ASYMPTOMATIC POSITIVE CASES Diagnosis: confirmed by positive molecular test Isolation: 10 days + single molecular buffer at the end of quarantine
two) POSITIVE SYMPTOM CASES Diagnosis: confirmed by positive molecular test Isolation: at least 10 days (of which the last 3 must be in the total absence of symptoms) + single molecular swab at the end of quarantine
3) ASYMPTOMATIC POSITIVE CASES THAT DO NOT NEGATIVIZE AFTER 21 DAYSI Diagnosis: confirmed by positive molecular test Isolation: minimum 21 days, with a positive result in the molecular test performed at 10 and 17 days (in asymptomatic cases, the isolation is interrupted on day 21 since the available evidence does not document any presence of replication competent virus)
4) CLOSE CONTACTS Fiduciary Isolation: 10 days + rapid or molecular antigenic buffer.
“To achieve the strategic objective linked to the sustainability of the positive case diagnosis system” in Covid, the CTS – concludes the note – “also considers it necessary to involve general practitioners and free-choice pediatricians for the precious and fundamental contribution that they ensure in the execution of swabs, to essentially support the health system in the country ”.
