The Minister of Health, CarLa Vizzotti, confirmed that epidemiologists and members of the Federal Health Council will analyze the possibility of eliminating the mandatory isolation for close contacts with complete vaccination, in order to guarantee the provision of essential services and also reduce the economic impact of the recent increase in infections by Covid.
On the other hand, the official confirmed that this Tuesday they will present the regulations that will regulate the sale and use of the Covid-19 self-tests.
“We are permanently analyzing if it is necessary, and if possible, to continue reducing the isolation of strategic personnel, always looking at the security and evidence that this measure generates,” he said in statements to the TN channel.
In addition, Vizzotti acknowledged that the specialists’ gaze is also on whether the coronavirus can be considered endemic.
Regarding the latter, he pointed out: “ It is something that is being analyzed. But I want to emphasize that it is because an economic sector has requested it, but rather that is the view and it is what is currently tended towards. In Spain they are even considering taking it as a common flu“.
The Government is evaluating reducing isolation to avoid a brake on activity.
“It is a pivotal moment “
On the possibility of eliminating mandatory isolation for close contacts with full vaccination, Vizzotti confirmed: “We raised it for the health team, mainly, and in fact it is already being done, as in Córdoba, they are working with permanent monitoring”.
“First from the health point of view, second, to ensure essential services and, of course, with a view to sustaining economic and productive activity,” he added.
“The meeting is to analyze those possibilities (those of eliminating the mandatory isolation of close contacts with complete vaccination). In Spain they are already talking about considering Covid as a common flu and rethink the whole strategy,” he insisted.
In that sense, he maintained that “ is a hinge moment because we are defining if we enter an endemic and why do we have to think if we change the whole strategy“.
“Now the idea is to try to resume and sustain activities without health risk, beyond what it means to have a new virus,” he said.
What will happen to the self-tests
On the other hand, regarding the regulations that will be presented this Tuesday to start the self-tests, Vizzotti said that The regulation will divide the agents that may acquire these personal tests into three parts: individuals, companies or private entities, and public sector managers .
The country defines how the self-tests will be distributed and who will access them.
Through an application Those who acquire these self-tests will be obliged to report if they are positive, negative or if they were not carried out, the minister advanced.
“The industry, the private sector, will be able to verify, if there is a positive, that the person does not go, so that they do not generate transmission or isolation,” he reported.
“The jurisdictions will also be able to acquire self-tests for the management of their employees and it will also be important for the school year. We are making a resolution that will point to notification of cases is favored,” he detailed.
