Greek health committee proposes shorter quarantine for people with mild Covid symptoms

The Health Ministry's specialists committee on the novel coronavirus proposed on Tuesday that quarantine of infected people be reduced by half to 5 days for those who show mild or no symptoms.

Committee members reviewed the recommendations of the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), which said that following the 5-day isolation, infected people should wear a mask for another five days whenever they are near other people.

The CDC also said that those who have completed the booster shot do not need to go into isolation if exposed to the coronavirus, but must wear a mask for 10 days after their exposure.

Further details are expected by the Greek committee.
