The new corona test outline for those exposed to a verified patient came into effect today. Under the outline, vaccinated young people under the age of 60 who do not belong to a risk group will no longer be referred for PCR tests, but for rapid antigen tests to be performed at their home or test centers. This, in view of the many loads and huge queues at the testing complexes in recent days.
The new outline is divided into two: people aged 60 and over and members of risk groups - in front of the rest of the population. In addition, the home tests will not be state-funded.
In addition, yesterday it was agreed on the new education outline, which will be in accordance with the isolation program.
If a verified patient is found in the classroom - regardless of the percentage of those vaccinated in it, as has been the practice so far - the students will be conducted in accordance with the test and isolation pattern used in the economy.
Thus, vaccinated or recovering people will perform a home or supervised antigen test and if the positive test remains in isolation for ten days, and non-vaccinated people will perform a supervised antigen test - if the positive test stays in isolation for 10 days, and if the negative test stays in isolation for seven days, subject to bail.
The exit from the isolation will be with the approval of a doctor only.
