If you tested positive and you are asymptomatic:
- If you are fully vaccinated: Seven days, beginning from when you received a positive test result
- If you are partially vaccinated: Still 10 days
- If you are unvaccinated: Still 10 days
If you tested positive and you exhibit symptoms, even mild ones:
- If you are fully vaccinated: From 10 days to seven days
- If you are partially vaccinated: Still 10 days
- If you are unvaccinated: Still 10 days
If you tested positive and you exhibit moderate symptoms:
