Government calls for citizens to isolate and quarantine again, reinstates contact tracing

This follows after the amended National Policy issued in December 2021 was officially withdrawn.

The current recommendation with regards to quarantine and isolation are:

Quarantine:
• If you have been in contact with someone who tested positive for Covid-19, you must quarantine for 10 days.

• Quarantine is not required if you have had prior infection less than 90 days ago.

Isolation of asymptomatic people

Isolate for 10 days from date of testing positive for Covid-19

Isolation of mild cases (not hospitalised)

• Isolate for 10 days from date of symptoms (even if you did not go for testing, assume you are positive if you have symptoms).

• No need for Covid-19 test after isolation period to return to work or school.

Isolation of severe cases (hospitalised)

• Isolate for 10 days from the date where there is no longer a requirement for supplemental oxygen.

• No need for Covid-19 test after isolation period to return to work or school
