Furthermore, the ministry announced the medical isolation period for the non-vaccinated coronavirus-infected people would be ten days.
The ministry tweeted that infected people do not need to do a swab after passing the recovery period mentioned above.
“Studies indicate that immunization would contain the spreading of the virus and bring down the period of infection between 5 and 7 days among the vast majority of immunized people,” the ministry said while emphasizing the significance of taking the booster shot to stem the symptoms of severe infection.
