[ad_1]

As before, it is possible to shorten the isolation by PCR test no earlier than isolation day 7 and a negative result if the person does not have symptoms of an acute upper respiratory infection, that is, the sudden onset of at least one of the following symptoms. : fever, cough, shortness of breath. It is recalled that in a previous test at this time, the isolation was reduced to 10 days.

In the case of contact in an educational institution, a separate algorithm has been approved to decide on isolation, which allows a more flexible assessment of the situation, maintaining both the continuity of education and the safety of the people involved in the educational process . .

In preschool and preschool education, a person with confirmed coronavirus infection is isolated when a case of COVID-19 is detected. The staff of the institution is isolated in the usual way, the students participate in the educational process.

In primary, basic and secondary education, when a case of COVID-19 is diagnosed, a person with a confirmed coronavirus infection or a positive result in a cumulative test is isolated. The latter remain isolated for 10 days or until an individual response of the PCR test is negative. Isolation will be applied to establishment staff in the usual way.

As before, vaccinated and sick students will not be isolated. Other students have the option of isolating or testing. Students who perform rapid antigen self-testing tests three times are isolated: immediately after case detection, a second time after 48-72 hours, and again a third time after another 48 hours. It is important to note that if it is not possible to maintain the established test frequency, the test can be done the next business day. If the student is examined 24 hours a day. Up to a confirmed case of COVID-19 disease or a positive cumulative detection, this test is counted as the first test in the algorithm. The test algorithm is valid for a maximum of 10 days from the last day of exposure.

The Ministry of Health recommends that exposed students who participate in the educational process subject to the test algorithm do not participate in non-formal education or other activities for 10 days from the last day of exposure to COVID-19 if children from another institution do not participate educational. At events and other gathering places, it is recommended that you limit the number of people you interact with. When communicating with others, such students should wear protective gear that covers their nose and mouth, maintain a safe distance, and take other general measures to prevent COVID-19.

In the case of COVID-19, a person with confirmed coronavirus infection will need to be isolated during vocational training or higher education. All others are isolated in the usual way.

It should be noted that vaccinated and sick individuals vaccinated according to the complete vaccination schedule are not isolated in all cases.

In all cases, people with symptoms of acute upper respiratory infection should not participate in the educational process and a CRP test is recommended.

Please note that both the 10-day isolation period and the new algorithm in educational institutions apply only to recently isolated individuals, so those who are already in isolation after contact in educational institution prior to entry into force of the legislation will not be able to continue the educational process, but will be able to carry out the new order.
