Find here all of our live # COVID_19
10:04 : Hello @Sahar. The isolation rules have been harmonized and will now apply in the same way, regardless of the variant.
10:03 : Hello Marie-Violette, Until now the isolation rules were not the same for the Omicron variant. What about now? Thank you
10:05 am : From February 15, you must therefore have taken your booster dose (2nd or 3rd dose, depending on the case) within a maximum of four months in order to keep your health pass. Until now, this period has been seven months. “An infection [au Covid-19] will always be equivalent to an injection “, specifies the Minister of Health.
9:55 a.m. : The time to take your booster dose and keep your health pass will be reduced to four months from February 15, announces Olivier Véran.
9:46 a.m. : Hello . The Ministry of Health confirmed to France Télévisions that these rules will apply as soon as they come into force, including for people who were already in solitary confinement.
09:42 : Hello, Is the end of the isolation measures retroactive? I sent the document to my employer because I had to be isolated until Wednesday inclusive. What to do in this case? Thank you for your reply.
09:19 : Finally, know that the same rules apply to children: seven days of isolation for positive cases and three consecutive tests without quarantine if they are contact cases. They could “come to school as long as these are negative”, assures Olivier Véran. The health protocol for schools will be detailed tomorrow by Jean-Michel Blanquer.
09:18 : Non-vaccinated contact cases who do not have a complete vaccination schedule will have to isolate themselves for seven days and obtain a negative test at the end of this period.
9:20 a.m. : Contact persons should nevertheless “Strictly apply barrier measures, in particular wearing a mask indoors and outdoors”, and telework “as far as possible”, specifies the Ministry of Health.
09:14 : Another change: if you are a contact case and have a complete vaccination schedule, you no longer need to isolate yourself. But you will need to do an initial PCR or antigen test the day you are notified of the potential contamination. If it is negative, you will have to do self-tests on D + 2 and D + 4, provided free of charge in pharmacies on proof of the first screening.
09:19 : This “early” release from isolation will be possible on condition that no clinical sign of infection has been present for 48 hours. Those who are not vaccinated will have to isolate themselves for ten days, with a possible exit after seven days under the same conditions.
09:11 : You were all expecting it: the government unveiled this morning the new isolation rules in the face of the Covid-19 epidemic, in force from tomorrow. People who are positive and have a complete vaccination schedule must isolate themselves for a period of seven days regardless of the variant, and this isolation can be lifted after five days in the event of a negative antigen or PCR test..
09:19 : Let’s start with a point on the news of this Sunday:
