France relaxes injected quarantine laws

France will ease isolation restrictions for the vaccinated starting next week, reducing the number of quarantine days to seven, Health Minister Olivier Veran said on Sunday in an interview with Le Journal du Dimanche.

 

“From Monday, fully vaccinated people who tested positive [for Covid-19] will have to isolate themselves for seven days. According to the minister, there will be no quarantine for fully inoculated individuals whose close contact tested positive.

 

Until January 2, those who tested positive in France had to isolate for 10 days with their close contracts also quarantined for a week. The country passed the 10 million cases mark last week.
