Isolation

Mandatory stay of a Covid-19 infected person at home, in a hospital or other accommodation - complete isolation from healthy people. Complete discontinuation of face-to-face contacts is necessary to limit the spread of Covid-19.

According to the results of studies, infectivity in the case of Covid-19 infection remains on average 6-8 days after the appearance of symptoms of the disease. On the 6th day after getting sick, almost every third (30%) Covid-19 patient is still infectious. SPKC recommends that patients with confirmed Covid-19 infection should be isolated for 9 days from the onset of symptoms or from the first laboratory-confirmed Covid-19 test.

When isolating at home, a number of strict rules must be followed. 

WHO HAS TO COMPLY?

• Persons who have tested positive for Covid-19. 

HOW TO COMPLY?

• Do not leave rooms where strict isolation is observed.
• Do not meet other people, do not visit others and do not receive guests.
• Contact your GP (if the situation becomes critical, call 113).
• Work duties may only be performed remotely.
• Participation in the educational process is allowed only remotely.
• Use a face mask if you share the same household with other people.
• Stay in well-ventilated rooms with a window that can be opened.
• Use a separate towel, cutlery, drinking utensils, bed linen and other household utensils.

FOR HOW LONG?
 

The treating physician decides to close the sick-leave certificate and discontinue isolation for the Covid-19 patient according to recommendations.

IS SICK LEAVE POSSIBLE?

• Covid-19 patients are issued sick leave certificates until their recovery.
