If a person with coronavirus is exposed to high risk within three months of the illness, they will no longer need to be isolated.

This exemption will not apply to people who work in treatment, supportive care, nursing, social work and custodial institutions, as well as to people who live in social work institutions in prisons and people who receive supportive treatment and nursing services.

The amendments also expanded the category of individuals for whom post-exposure isolation can be shortened if a laboratory test for coronavirus (COVID-19) is performed and found to be negative no earlier than day 10 of isolation. This category includes heads of state and employees and officials of certain institutions, employees of dispatch centers of energy companies and some other professional groups.

Attached is the order of the Minister of Health, which will take effect on November 30.

SAM recalls that according to general procedure, a person who has been in contact with a patient must be isolated for 14 days.
