Dr. Richard Jane, Deputy Director of Public Health at the Ministry of Public Health, said the recovery criteria from Covid-19 in New Zealand have recently been reviewed.

For Covid-19 cases to be released from quarantine, at least 10 days must pass after a positive test if symptoms develop or remain asymptomatic.

They were also asymptomatic for 72 hours and had to meet the criteria determined by their caregiver or medical officer.

Border incidents had to spend 14 days in controlled quarantine, even if they were considered to have recovered sooner.

“Through this and previous outbreaks, the Auckland Regional Public Health Service has managed Covid-19 cases according to this clinical guidance,” said Jaine.

“These decisions are based on clinical judgment by experienced and trained medical officers who have safely managed the thousands of people who brought Covid-19 back to the New Zealand community.”

However, in late August, the ministry finalized the latest guidance for moving from onset of symptoms or positive testing to a 14-day extension.

Jaine said the public health unit is now operating under this guidance, although it was not officially implemented.

“Oakland focuses on managing current large-scale outbreaks, and this guidance will be implemented as demand from outbreaks diminishes.

“In the meantime, people are discharged only after being evaluated by a medical officer.”

“As part of ensuring that the Covid-19 approach is effective and adapted as needed, the ministry keeps track of the evolution of science and public health thinking as the virus changes. increase.”
