Fully vaccinated Covid-19 patients with mild symptoms should be discharged after seven or ten days instead of 14 days, the HCMC health department has proposed.

 

The proposal, sent recently to the Ministry of Health, suggests reducing the quarantine time from 14 to seven days for Covid-19 patients who are fully vaccinated and have mild symptoms, if they test negative on the 7th day.

 

This will ease the burden for treatment facilities, it said.

Isn’t this already happening ????

 

I know people who had mild symptoms, tested positive, were admitted to hospital for 3 days but did not develop more severe symptoms. 

 

They were released and told to isolate at home for xx days.
