Health Ministry proposing to end Covid self-isolation
The Health Ministry is proposing that people who test positive for Covid-19 should no longer be automatically ordered to go into self-isolation for seven days. Doctors are to decide whether this is really necessary on a case-by-case basis. Employees in high-risk professions such as health care workers or those in social services might be ordered to do so. Wearing a respirator at work may also be considered sufficient protection. It is not yet clear from when the change would apply.
