New Guidelines For Ending Home Isolation

The government changes its guidelines on when a coronavirus patient can end home isolation. The government’s previous guidelines said a COVID 19 patient can end home isolation if symptoms are clinically resolved and medical officer certifies him to be infection-free after testing. However, new guidelines say patients can end home isolation after 17 days of onset of symptoms and no fever for 10 days. “There is no need for testing after the home isolation period is over,” revised guidelines said.
