SINGAPORE: From next week, the quarantine period for those exposed to COVID-19 will be reduced from 14 to 10 days, announced the Ministry of Health on Friday .
Currently, the quarantine period is set at 14 days to account for the maximum COVID-19 incubation period. However, these changes will not apply to dormitory residents, said MOH, due to the larger risk of transmission given their cohorted living arrangements. Sectors may also have additional requirements due to their unique needs.
What about returnees from overseas? quarantine is not reduced in tandem? Especially those tested negative on arrival?
