The Public Health Commission is studying the possibility of further reducing the quarantine and isolation period for positive cases of coronavirus, which is currently seven days, although several communities want it to be lowered to between 3 and 5, reports EFE.

In Spain, the isolation of the positives lasts for seven days if they are asymptomatic and those who develop a mild picture of the disease; In no case is a test mandatory for return to work, except in professions such as health or residence workers.

Meanwhile, the duration of the quarantine of close contacts is also seven days for people who are not vaccinated -those who have the complete schedule are exempt-, as long as they do not develop symptoms during this period.

The Minister of Health, Carolina Darias, pointed out last week that it would be the technicians of the alert report who would make a proposal, which will later be submitted to the Public Health Commission because this, like all matters, is “under permanent review”. “.
