And from Monday 16 August, people who are fully vaccinated will no longer need to self-isolate if they’ve been a close contact of someone who tests positive for COVID-19 Instead, they should get a day two and an eight-day PCR test.
Those not fully vaccinated must still self-isolate for 10 days.
Make the right choice on vaccination. Make an informed decision.
