People who have already been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus will no longer have to be quarantined from Thursday 8 July if they have been in close contact with someone who has been infected, for example a family member. According to a spokeswoman for the umbrella organization GGD GHOR, this applies to people who have had the (last) jab fourteen days earlier and have therefore built up sufficient protection. Until now, quarantine has been prescribed for people with family members who have tested positive. The same corona rules applied to vaccinated people as to people who have not been vaccinated. That will change on Thursday.

The new rules will also apply to two other groups. This concerns the groups of people who had Covid-19 less than six months ago. The immunity also applies to people who have already had Covid-19 and who have been vaccinated at least once more than fourteen days ago. For these groups, the quarantine obligation expires if someone in their household or other close contact has tested positive. The GGD continues to conduct source and contact investigations. “Everyone who is tested positive will receive a source and contact investigation“, emphasizes the spokeswoman for GGD GHOR Nederland.
