The Ministry of Health publishes new FAQs after the Dpcm of November 3, 2020. What is the difference between quarantine, active surveillance and isolation. When you can go back to work.
What is meant by quarantine, active surveillance and isolation? What are the differences?
Quarantine and isolation are important public health measures implemented to avoid the occurrence of further secondary cases due to transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and to avoid overloading the hospital system.
Quarantine is carried out on a healthy person (close contact) who has been exposed to a COVID-19 case, with the aim of monitoring symptoms and ensuring early identification of cases.
Isolation consists of separating people with COVID-19 from healthy people as much as possible in order to prevent the spread of the infection, during the transmissibility period.
Active surveillance is a measure during which the public health worker contacts the person under surveillance on a daily basis for information on health conditions.
What do i need to do after quarantine to get back to work?
At the end of the quarantine period, if no symptoms have appeared, the person can return to work and the period of absence is covered by the certificate.
If during the quarantine period the person develops symptoms, the Department of Public Health, which deals with health surveillance, will carry out the swab for the search for SARS-CoV-2. In the event of a positive outcome, it will be necessary to wait for clinical recovery and perform a molecular test after at least 3 days without symptoms. If the molecular test is negative, the person can return to work, otherwise the isolation will continue.
