The isolation period for those with symptoms has been cut by three days and the country will also return to full-time‚ non-rotational schooling. “The rationale for these amendments is informed by the proportion of people with immunity to Covid-19 which has risen substantially, exceeding 60%-80% in several sero-surveys,” the Presidency’s statement indicated.
