As of March 5, close contacts of coronavirus cases who are not vaccinated are no longer required to quarantine, so the end of social isolation of all close contacts (vaccinated and unvaccinated) is reached, something that It especially affects schools.
The end of the quarantine for positive contacts has been agreed this Tuesday by the Public Health Commission, made up of general directors of the autonomous communities and the Ministry of Healthwhich maintains isolation for at least 7 days for people positive for coronavirus.
They recommend, however, that during the 10 days after the last exposure, extreme precautions are taken and social interactions are reduced as much as possible, constantly using the mask and maintaining adequate hand hygiene, especially avoiding contact with vulnerable people.
Impact on schools
The lifting of this restriction for unvaccinated contacts mostly affects children who will now be able to leave home if they do not have symptoms despite there being a positive case in the family.
This measure will be felt especially in schools where, starting next Tuesday, it will not be necessary to close classrooms nor will children have to quarantine when there are five or more positives in their class.
Children between 5 and 11 years old have been in the vaccination process since last December 15. 57.4% have already received a dose and 18.4% the complete regimen.
On December 29, the Public Health Commission agreed to reduce the period of home isolation for people mildly infected with coronavirus from 10 to 7 days, a period of time that was also shortened to 7 days for unvaccinated close contacts.
