Reduced quarantine, only one negative swab to exit and ‘freedom’ for asymptomatic still positive, after 21 days. The Scientific Technical Committee redesigns the measures to manage the situation of the Covid in Italy. These are the first indications awaiting the meeting on Monday.
QUARANTINE – During today’s CTS we have been oriented towards a reduction of the quarantine from 14 to 10 days e only one buffer at the outlet. “The contacts of positive cases must remain in quarantine. Until yesterday it was a 14-day quarantine”, Health Minister Roberto Speranza told ‘Che tempo che fa’. “The CTS, also to lighten the load that is developing in our society, has come to decide for a 10-day quarantine as Germany had already done for a few weeks, on the basis of scientific evidence according to which from the tenth day in then the risk is very low “. For those who had had close contacts with positive subjects, the measure that emerged in today’s CTS therefore provides for ten days of fiduciary isolation and a rapid or molecular antigenic buffer.
BASIC DOCTORS AND PEDIATRICIANS SWABS – The Cts, according to what we learn, has given an indication why also GPs and pediatricians can do swabs. In particular, doctors and pediatricians, if they agree, will be able to make both molecular swabs and antigenic swabs in order to reduce the queues at the drive-in. ” In order to achieve the strategic objective connected to the sustainability of the diagnostic system of cases of positivity to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the CTS also deems it necessary to involve general practitioners and pediatricians of free choice for the precious and fundamental contribution that they can ensure in the execution of swabs, in order to essentially support the health system in the country ”. The CTS, ” in line with international guidelines and adopting the principle of maximum caution, underlines the need to update the diagnostic path for the identification of positive cases as well as the timely return to the social context of diagnosed subjects. Similarly, the CTS has redefined the criteria of the fiduciary isolation of close contacts of confirmed cases positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus ”.
ASYMPTOMATIC ‘FREE’ AFTER 21 DAYS EVEN IF POSITIVE – The asymptomatics who continue not to negativize themselves, establishes the Cts in a measure approved today, they will still end the quarantine period after 21 days. “In asymptomatic cases the isolation is interrupted in any case on the 21st day since the available evidence does not document any case of the presence of a replication competent virus” they explain.
