COVID-19: Alert Level One Isolation Protocols Adjusted
… navigating through the COVID-19 lockdown predicament …
ALERT LEVEL ONE
ISOLATION PROTOCOLS ADJUSTED
Dear employer
Last night, the Presidency issued a statement indicating that Cabinet decided to amend the Covid-19 Alert Level One isolation protocols, with immediate effect.
The amended protocols are as follows:
- those who test positive, with no symptoms, do not have to isolate;
- if you test positive with symptoms, the isolation period has been reduced from 10 to 7 days;
- contacts do not have to isolate, unless they develop symptoms;
- primary, secondary and special schools will return to daily attendance. The regulatory provision for social distancing of 1 meter for learners in schools has also been removed.
According to the statement, “The rationale for these amendments is informed by the proportion of people with immunity to COVID-19 which has risen substantially, exceeding 60-80% in several sero-surveys”.
We will keep members abreast of developments in this regard.
