Coronavirus (2022) thread

I agree but I wonder if other countries will accept a registered, positive LFT as proof of previously infection in the last 90 days.
If not people will be required to PCR before travel possibly causing no end of trouble to those 90 dayers.
Portugal, for instance don't require you to have a PCR if you have proof of prior infection within that period.

I assume being fully vaccinated in also good enough to get into Portugal?

It could well be another incentive for people to get vaccinated and so there is an additional benefit as well as taking pressure off testing.

It's 7 days now. You need 2 negative LF tests from day 6 & 7 onwards.

Self-isolation for COVID-19 cases reduced from 10 to 7 days following negative LFD tests

From today, new guidance enables the 10-day self-isolation period for people who have tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19) to be reduced to 7 days, in most cases.

Just indicative of the whole out of sync approach. I tested positive on Tuesday and reported my result. I get a message back almost immediately telling me I must self isolate for TEN days until the 14th and get a PCR test. That seems a bit pointless, as I know I am positive and I’ve got symptoms!

I am then told I mustn’t leave the house, even to excercise, although I can go into the garden. I am not allowed out though, even with a mask. Now, I have never been convinced about mask wearing but, I thought wearing a mask was ‘not to protect you, but to protect those around you’? If you can’t go out wearing one if you’re positive, that cannot be true..

Requirements for EU citizens but I'd imagine it's pretty much universal.

Yup. Feel like I haven't slept by about 3pm. As Bluehammer said struggling to wake up in the morning. It's definitely lingering, just try and plough on through. Hopefully not forever.

Losing smell and taste is a right kick in the knackers though haha!
