According to the provision “people who have tested positive in the diagnostic test (molecular or antigenic) are subjected to the measurement of isolation”.

The rules are the same as in the circular issued on 30 December 2021 and therefore:

For the unvaccinated or for those who received the last dose more than 120 days ago, the isolation period is 10 days.

Close contacts

According to the circular, “the self-monitoring regime is applied to those who have had close contact with confirmed positive subjects, consisting in the obligation to wear FFP2 respiratory protection devices, indoors or in the presence of gatherings, up to the tenth day following the date of the last close contact ».
If during the self-monitoring period “Symptoms suggestive of possible Sars-Cov-2 infection occur, the immediate execution of an antigen or molecular test is recommended which in the event of a negative result must be repeated, if symptoms are still present, on the fifth day following the date of last contact ».

The rule also applies to the unvaccinated.
