Whether you have to quarantine despite being vaccinated or whether it is necessary to take a test after having been in contact with a positive person are just some of the doubts that citizens have when cases of infections begin to rise.
With the Covid data skyrocketed in Germany and Austria, a country in which unvaccinated people are confined again, and with the incidence in Spain rising At the same time that some communities are already warning of possible restrictions, Doubts about what to do in this new phase arise among the vaccinated population. From Health they urge follow the action protocol in case of risk of contagion that any citizen can consult on its website. These are some of their recommendations:
If a vaccinated person is a close contact of a positive person, what happens?
Seven days after contact, a PCR is performed to check if she has been infected and it is positive. If you test negative, you will not have to quarantine, but you must maintain a series of specific preventive measures. Among them: wear a mask at all times, do not be with vulnerable people, do not be with people who are not vaccinated and do not attend mass events.
Who and in what cases should confinement be done?
People who are positive (are infected), regardless of whether they are vaccinated or not, and those who are not vaccinated and have been close contact.
What should a vaccinated person who has been in close contact do if they develop symptoms?
A diagnostic test must be done at the time. If symptoms appear before five days after contact with the positive person, an antigen test can be performed. But if more than five days have passed since contact, a PCR must be performed (the sample is taken in the same way but the analysis is different).
How long does a quarantine last?
Both those vaccinated and those who have not received the vaccine, as well as those who have been in close contact with a positive person and are not immunized, will undergo a 10-day quarantine.
To avoid the increase in infections, health sources remind that the The use of a mask is still mandatory in closed spaces and that it can only be removed while consuming food or drinks. It is also mandatory on means of transport and at large outdoor events when the distance of 1,5 meters between people cannot be maintained. Likewise, The ban on smoking in public remains in force or in outdoor spaces when the minimum interpersonal distance cannot be respected.
