Home isolation is a common task in epidemic prevention and control, but the specific understanding of the relevant regulations is different. If you do not do it well, it may increase the workload of epidemic prevention and even cause excessive epidemic prevention. I hope everyone can help clarify the relevant issues with the following specific examples.
Li and others chartered a car from Zitong County, Mianyang City to return to the main urban area of Chengdu without stopping. When they start returning, they report to the community living in Chengdu through the health code platform. After returning, they start home quarantine.
On September 30, Sichuan Disease Control and Prevention issued regulations, "For cross-city (prefecture) mobile personnel who have a history of Mianyang City and Meishan City in the past 7 days: hold a nucleic acid negative certificate within 24 hours, and implement 5 days of home isolation from the date of arrival. On the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th, 4 nucleic acid tests were completed. Only after the nucleic acid test negative certificate was issued on the 5th can the quarantine be lifted."
From the literal understanding of this regulation, Li and others should calculate the first day from September 29th on the day of arrival, and October 3rd is the 5th day. After the nucleic acid test result is negative on October 3, the quarantine can be lifted.
Another understanding is that it will take September 29th to be counted as one day until the 30th, which will take 5*24, and it will be calculated based on weekdays. In this way, it will take October 4th to be counted as the fifth day.
The above two understandings are actually a day short of understanding. Li and others have implemented both methods in different urban areas and streets. Which understanding is correct?
