No quarantine orders for close contacts of COVID-19 cases as MOH urges personal responsibility

Close contacts of COVID-19 cases will no longer receive quarantine orders and people testing for the disease can follow one of three steps, under simplified healthcare protocols announced by the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Saturday (Oct 9).

The revised protocols that will take effect on Oct 11 "mark a shift in emphasis towards personal responsibility and self-management", MOH said.

Protocols for those who are unwell and test positive for COVID-19 will also change – they will be diagnosed using an antigen rapid test (ART) instead of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test that is currently the default. They will also be discharged from isolation based on the number of days they have been isolated as opposed to a negative test.

Those who are well and test positive will also not need a PCR test, and will have to stay isolated for as long as their tests show a positive reading beyond 72 hours.

The changes come as the authorities press a “reset button” with the “huge effort” to simplify rules that have been accumulated over 20 months, MOH said.

It’s a “significant simplification” of what is currently in place, it added.
