The Ministry of Public Health (MSP) works during these hours to reduce the days of isolation established in the protocol for those who are infected with covid-19 and differences will be established according to the level of immunization of the person.
“It is imminent (the change),” he told The Observer the general director of Health, Miguel Asqueta. “It is in the line of work that we have already been marking,” he added.
In a draft document on which the MSP works and which circulated on social networks in the last hours, the different changes are established. The main difference will be for those vaccinated with three doses and with more than seven days since the last vaccination.
In that case, they will only have to keep seven days of isolation as long as in the last 72 hours they do not present any symptoms, according to the document released by El País and accessed by El Observador.
So far, anyone who is covid positive must keep 14 days of quarantine in case of being symptomatic, and 10 if they are asymptomatic.
Those vaccinated with two doses and less than 180 days from the last vaccination would have ten days of isolation in case of having the disease with symptoms, and seven days in case of not having any symptoms.
Those not vaccinated, or vaccinated with two doses who have acquired the last vaccine more than 180 days ago, must keep ten days of isolation in both cases.
In all cases, symptomatic patients should have no fever or respiratory symptoms in the three days prior to the end of the period to complete isolation, and in the case of no symptoms, remain that way on the last day.
Although the change will take place in the next few hours, Asqueta clarified that this document “It is not official”Rather, it is an “internal draft” – he also defined it as a “working document” – that “is being analyzed”.
The mutualists have not yet received any official document in this regard, although the information It has already reached different centers through social networks and some doctors even warned their patients that in the next few hours there were going to be changes, confirmed different sources to The Observer.

At the end of the leaked document you see a section on “special situations”. There it is indicated that the quarantine days for the immunosuppressed people to 21 days, and those of hospitalized patients with severe or critical conditions to 28 days.
