The info not to be missed
This beginning of the year marks the change of several health measures: people positive for Covid-19 whose vaccination schedule is complete "will have to isolate themselves for seven days".
A figure which could be reduced to five "in the event of an antigen test or negative PCR" and on condition of not having any more clinical sign of infection for 48 hours.
People who are infected but not whose vaccination schedule is incomplete should self-isolate for ten days.
The change also concerns contact cases: the vaccinated will no longer have to isolate themselves, while the unvaccinated will have to do so for seven days.
Teleworking becomes compulsory at least three days a week, or even four when possible, in companies where it can be done.
At school, students will now have to perform three tests if a positive case is detected in a class: the first as soon as the case appears, then on D + 2 and D + 4.

The need for a resuscitation bed is lower than with the previous variants.
On the other hand (…) we expect to have a very large influx of patients in conventional hospital beds ”, he indicates, before clarifying his point:“ I am not saying that Omicron is less dangerous, I say it causes less sheaves ”.
