Close contacts with new coronavirus patients can register online and receive an electronic isolation order to isolate at home
0 The Ministry of Health issued an announcement stating that there are currently about 70% of the close contacts of new coronavirus cases in Singapore in the community inclined to be quarantined at home. In addition, the quarantined people have complied with the regulations so far, and the patients are quite cooperative with the Health Bureau to confirm the situation of close contacts. Therefore, the Ministry of Health decided to adjust the procedures:
1, starting from September 11, the 14-day quarantine period is shortened to 10 days. All those who received the quarantine order before last Saturday and have completed quarantine for ten days or more can end the quarantine in advance as long as the new coronavirus test is negative.
2. Patients who do not belong to large infection groups will receive a text message on their mobile phone, requiring them to notify the cohabitants to register as "family close contacts" online;
3. Register must provide the specific date and contact number of the last contact with the patient.
In addition, close contacts with new coronavirus patients can also make an appointment with an area testing center near your home via the Internet to receive the [polymerase chain reaction test] before and after the quarantine period, and [receive a free antigen rapid detector], and test it yourself every day during the quarantine period, and then upload the test results.
If the person is quarantined feels uncomfortable, he can also see a doctor through all-weather telemedicine services. If it is not suitable for home isolation, quarantined persons can also ask to go to Singapore's government isolation facilities for isolation.
However, all quarantined persons must undergo rapid antigen testing every day from day 11 to day 14 after contacting the patient.
