Covid-19: NI self-isolation guidance reduced to five days

Adults who test positive for Covid-19 are advised they can now leave self-isolation after five days, even though they "might still be infectious".Children can leave after three days as they "tend to be less infectious".

Previous guidance advised that those who tested positive following a Lateral Flow Test should self-isolate for up to 10 days, either from the date of the test or when symptoms started, whichever was sooner. On Friday, Northern Ireland's associate deputy chief medical officer Dr Joanne McClean advised people to "still be careful".

"It's really about trying to strike a balance between controlling transmission of the virus and the impact it's having on people's lives and society in general."Health Minister Robin Swann says people should use personal judgement and still act responsibly

About 6 lemsip capsules,a few really hot showers and rest over a 24 hr period and afterwards things will be a lot better.the cold/ flu will ease of and there will be no need to panic 👍

What a joke

If you feel well enough, you can go about your business how you like. It’s that simple. SlowNewsDay

Get Them back to work: all that covid isolation was affecting profits vs the rate of death isn't high enough to affect profit. We need strict triage in NHS: will treatment get them back to work? No = don't bother. Self-inflicted? Back of the queue. Vote Tory 🙄

stop testing!

There is no legal requirement to isolate, never was.

'Can now leave....' 😂 People don't need to isolate at all.

Hahahahaha. Making it up as they go along. Just like they always have.

covid is an IQ test

I’ve got COVID (day 7). On day 5 I still really sick. These rules are madness

There is no obligation to isolate. Stop trying to scare the public

People who have tested positive can leave whenever the fuck they want....😡😡

🤣😂😅Seriously...
