Requirement for people with Covid-19 and their contacts to quarantine is still in force

The requirement to quarantine Covid-19 patients and their contacts has not been lifted. The quarantine for Covid-19 patients is seven days and for their contacts is five days, the health ministry said on October 11.

In July, the Ministry of Health proposed to abolish the quarantine for those who are ill and their contacts and the proposal was mentioned in the draft amendments to the Health Act. The proposal has not yet been voted on in Parliament.
