Fully vaccinated people who come into contact with a positive COVID-19 case could soon be able to return to daily life without self-isolating for a full 14-day period.
The tentative plan is to allow fully vaccinated people to exit self-isolation after a five-day period and a negative PCR test result, with another swab test being required some days later.
Details are, however, still being ironed out and that five-day period – implemented during a pilot study involving Mater Dei Hospital frontliners – could be modified when the measure is communicated to the public.
The plans were unveiled by Health Minister Chris Fearne in an interview with
Malta Chamber, GWU to promote active ageing and address legal anomalies
