Covid-19: NI self-isolation period reduced to five days
Adults who test positive for Covid-19 are advised they can now leave self-isolation after five days, even though they "might still be infectious".Children can leave after three days as they "tend to be less infectious".
Previous guidance advised that those who tested positive following a Lateral Flow Test should self-isolate for up to 10 days, either from the date of the test or when symptoms started, whichever was sooner. On Friday, Northern Ireland's associate deputy chief medical officer Dr Joanne McClean advised people to "still be careful".
"It's really about trying to strike a balance between controlling transmission of the virus and the impact it's having on people's lives and society in general."Health Minister Robin Swann says people should use personal judgement and still act responsibly
