The isolation period for people positive to coronavirus has been revised to 10 days now. And people - who tested Covid-19 positive - can resume their work after this period without any negative certificate.

The Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) made the disclosure on Sunday.

Professor Dr Nazmul Islam, the DGHS Spokesperson, made the disclosure during a press briefing.

He said, “People can resume their regular activities if there are no symptoms after 10 days. Also, they do not need any negative certificates to return into their jobs.”

Prof Nazmul also said, “People who contracted Covid-19 will get their booster shots after six weeks of the detection.”

Meanwhile, the health minister today said people of 40-year old will get the booster dose.
