Co w przypadku jak test wyjdzie pozytywnie? Kwarantanna 14 dni na mój koszt?

The five-day quarantine is not as restrictive as typical quarantine for those who have been in contact with a COVID-19 infected individual. Icelandic citizens and residents may go grocery shopping and use public transport and even meet friends and family in small groups. They are, however, not permitted to attend events with groups of over 10 people; meet individuals in at-risk groups; or shake hands or hug others. They are also directed to be diligent at maintaining preventative measures such as handwashing and social distancing.

At a meeting today, the government decided that no later than Wednesday 19 August, all arriving passengers will be screened twice on arrival in Iceland. The first sampling will take place at the border, after which the arriving passengers will be quarantined for 4-5 days until a result is obtained from the second sampling.

This decision is made in the light of how the virus has developed globally and in Iceland. The incidence of Covid-19 infection is increasing in neighboring countries and around the world. A group infection that has occurred in this country is still being dealt with without it being known how that variant of the virus entered the country. Finally, it is clear that the epidemiologist considers this method to be the most effective from an epidemiological point of view.

The main change resulting from this decision is that all passengers, except children born in 2005 and later, will be screened on arrival in the country. Recently, passengers from certain countries have been excluded. In those countries, the epidemic is picking up again and it has proved difficult to monitor that passengers have actually stayed in the country for 14 days. Then everyone should go to Sampling 2 to better ensure that infection is detected in those who are recently infected. Until now, this requirement has only applied to Icelanders and those who live here or come for a longer period of stay. For the first 4-5 days, the person in question must be in quarantine, which is a safer and clearer arrangement than the so-called homecoming ashes, which will then be part of the story.

Finally, the rules on pre-registration of passengers will be tightened to ensure that the necessary information is available before arriving in the country.

This decision is based on the valuable experience gained in border screening since 15 June. as the collaboration between the health care system, Landspítali and Íslensk erfðagreiningar has been a key issue under the supervision of the epidemiologist and with the support of the border control and the civil defense department of the police. Rules are now being tightened to further minimize the risk of new infections with the safety of the people and public health in mind. This is expected to reduce the likelihood of further disruption to the daily lives of Icelanders due to domestic disease control measures. Developments in other countries will continue to be closely monitored and rules will be reassessed accordingly. Here, as hitherto, the Chief Epidemiologist regularly assesses whether countries are low-risk areas and then switches to the arrangements for simple border screening.

There is still every reason to focus on individual infection control; hand washing, spraying and the two - meter rule in Iceland.

Czy ktoś ma więcej informacji na temat tej kwarantanny rzekomo w wersji light? szukam i szukam, ale żadnych szczegółów nie znalazłam. Mamy bilety na 1.09, powrót 8.09 więc jeśli pomiędzy pierwszym a drugim testem nie będziemy mogli się nigdzie ruszyć to musimy wszystko odwołać... Jedynie lot przepadnie
