Once you are two weeks past your second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, if you are named as a close contact of someone who has tested positive for the virus, and you remain asymptomatic, you won’t have to isolate. Health Minister Paul Merriman says the level of protection provided by the two doses of vaccine is why the government can announce this new guideline.
If you have symptoms though, you will have to self-isolate and be tested. Anyone who is unvaccinated or has only had one vaccine, must still self-isolated if they are named as a close contact.
