The main changes to quarantine and isolation include reducing isolation for people who tested positive for the coronavirus to seven days from February 15, limiting quarantine for an infected person's household only until they remain in isolation, and moving away from post-contact quarantine with an infected person, said the Minister of Health, Adam Niedzielski.
"We are liquidating the so-called contact quarantines, ie people who have so far been quarantined based on an epidemiological interview, where there were contact people, which of course was of great importance, for example in schools or the work environment, these quarantines will be lifted altogether," the minister announced.
This is also to apply to people who are currently in quarantine resulting from the diagnosis of contact as a result of an epidemic interview.
From February 11, that is, from Friday, the entry quarantine for travelers from non-Schengen countries will also be reduced to 7 days (from 10 or 14 days now, depending on the country).
At the same time, the ministry promises to maintain special regulations for representatives of health care and uniformed services.
