The principles and isolation requirements for our employees and patients are as follows.
- Community cases are released automatically on D7 – D0 being the day of the positive test result
- Inpatients are assessed based on symptoms at presentation, reason for admission, disease severity and presence of immunosuppression – all of which may prolong shedding
*All positive Rapid antigen tests as inpatients must be confirmed with a PCR
