Reduce isolation period for healthcare workers to five days: TAC
The Hindu
The recommendation comes in the wake of shortage of staff in hospitals
The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) has recommended that the isolation period for doctors and other healthcare professionals who are asymptomatic and have tested positive for COVID-19 should be reduced to five days. The move comes after a shortage of staff in hospitals was noted. The committee had its meeting on Sunday. “The employers must provide COVID care facilities at hotels if healthcare workers test positive. After the isolation period, they can resume duty without undergoing a COVID test,” a source said.
The source added that all healthcare workers had completed their two doses of vaccination.
