South Africa has reduced isolation period for symptomatic patients to seven days and says those with no symptoms will not require isolation.
South Africa no longer requires people who test positive for Covid-19 without symptoms to isolate, the government has said, as the country exits its fulfil wave of the coronavirus.
According to a statement;
”The country is said to have made the changes based on the trajectories of the pandemic and levels of vaccination in the country.”
South Africa is currently at the lowest of its five-stage Covid alert levels, level 1.
South Africa with just more than 3,6 million infectious and 95,000 deaths, has been the worst hit country in Africa during the pandemic on both counts, with the latest wave of infections driven by the Omicron variant.
This follows a rise in the proportion of people with immunity against Covid-19.
Reports from France 24 say Denmark on Tuesday became the first European Union country to lift all of it’s Covid-19 restrictions.
It is said they will scrap off face masks, vaccine passes and limited business opening hours.
The reason for that is, while the omicron variant is surging in Denmark its not placing a heavy burden on the Health system and the country has a high vaccination rate.
World Health Organisation however, urges people not to take the virus lightly.
Countries should not surrender the fight against Covid-19.
Meanwhile, sources say in countries like the United Kingdom wearing of masks is no longer mandatory but up to the citizens
There might come a point where Covid-19 will be treated as an endemic disease and be considered as a flue.
