What does it mean for a person to be in quarantine?

This applies to healthy people who have had close contact with people infected with or suspected of being infected with the coronavirus. Since March 15, quarantine has been mandatory for everyone returning from abroad.

The person stays in their home for two weeks – counted from the day of their last contact with an infected person or from the day they return from a high-risk region. They must not leave, even to walk the dog, go to a shop or see a doctor. This is a matter of civic responsibility, because they may carry and spread the coronavirus even though they have no symptoms themselves.

No one is allowed to visit them.

If they feel worse, especially if the following symptoms appear: fever, coughing or breathing problems, they should immediately notify the sanitary and epidemiological station by phone or report directly to the infectious diseases ward or the infectious diseases observation ward of a hospital.

If you are returning from abroad and cannot undergo quarantine at home, you will complete it at a facility designated by the authorities (you will receive information when crossing the border).

What does it mean for a person to be under epidemiological supervision?

For example, if someone worked in a building where a coronavirus carrier had been present, they were in the same space. In other words, in a situation where there was no direct contact with the carrier or a sick person, the individual’s health is checked as a precaution.

Epidemiological supervision lasts 14 days. It is carried out in consultation with sanitary inspection workers following an epidemiological interview. You should switch to working remotely from home, suspend your social life and limit outings to a minimum. Measure your temperature twice a day and monitor your health.
