Isolation
Last update 21.10.2022
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.
