In the case of children and students up to secondary schools, however, the isolation of the positives ends at seven days with molecular or antigenic output test, while the quarantine of the The contact person expires in five days with antigenic or molecular exit test. In the absence of tampon, isolation or quarantine they are exhausted for all after 10 days, while there is no quarantine obligation for contacts of positives who have received boosters, are both cured and vaccinated or are “fresh” of healing or double dose of vaccine for less than three months.
France, for vaccinated and under 12 isolation reduced to 5 days
The French government has also revised the rules on confinement to cope with the growth of infections triggered by Omicron. The measures, starting from 3 January 2022, are valid without distinction on the contracted variant. The clearest difference, if anything, is between the block made up of full cycle vaccinated people and under 12 and that made up of unvaccinated people or citizens who have yet to complete their cycle of administration.
In case of positivity, fully vaccinated and children under 12 must undergo seven-day isolation, but they can go out as early as the fifth if they meet two conditions: a molecular swab with negative result and the absence of symptoms for at least 48 hours. Those who are not fully or partially vaccinated must extend the isolation to 10 days, with the possibility of shortening it to seven days in the event of a negative molecular test and absence of symptoms for at least two days.
In case of contact with positive people, citizens who are vaccinated at full cycle are not required to observe quarantine periods. However, all possible precautions must be respected, such as the use of the mask, the minimization of contacts and the complete use of remote work. In addition, according to the French government website, it is necessary to undergo a rapid or molecular test as a precaution close to the meeting with the infected person, with the addition of a self-test two and four days after the meeting. . If the home swab is positive, it will need to be confirmed or denied by an antigen or molecular test.
In the case of non-vaccinated or full-cycle non-vaccinated citizens, a seven-day quarantine is triggered which can only end with a healing swab: if the outcome is positive, the ordinary quarantine takes over.
