If the COVID-19 test result is positive, the traveller is required to adhere to the isolation guidelines. The location for isolation will be determined according to the household situation and the health status of the patient (institutional isolation or at the hospital).
A person who is infected with COVID-19 will self isolate. The isolation period for a confirmed COVID-19 case is 10 days. The isolation ends after completing the 10 days with improvement in symptoms and no fever for 3 consecutive days at least, without any fever reduction medication.

For those that are a COVID-19 close contact case, no quarantine is required if you are not experiencing any symptoms.
