Karl Lauterbach Has No Plans To Ease Isolation For Those With Covid-19
Changes To Isolation Rules Will Not Happen, Says Lauterbach
Despite pressure from some politicians and business leaders, Health Minister Karl Lauterbach has said that he has no plans to ease the isolation rules for those who have tested positive for Covid-19.
The current rules mean that people who test positive for Covid-19 must isolate for at least five days, and can only leave isolation if they test negative on day five. This has led to criticism from some, who say that the rules are too strict and are causing unnecessary disruption to people's lives and businesses.
Lauterbach Defends Isolation Rules
However, Lauterbach has defended the isolation rules, saying that they are necessary to prevent the spread of the virus. He said that the virus is still circulating at a high level, and that easing the isolation rules would increase the risk of transmission.
Lauterbach also said that the isolation period is relatively short, and that most people who test positive for Covid-19 will only experience mild symptoms. He said that the inconvenience of isolating for a few days is a small price to pay for protecting others from the virus.
Business Leaders Call For Easing Of Rules
Some business leaders have called for the isolation rules to be eased, saying that they are causing unnecessary disruption to businesses.
However, Lauterbach has said that he is not prepared to compromise on public health, and said that the isolation rules will remain in place for the foreseeable future.
