Furthermore, face masks will continue to be mandatory for people seeking to get from one place to another, in the corridors of the various buildings.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quarantine<\/h2><p>Quarantine rules were amended yesterday, as well. As far as higher education is concerned, the Cabinet has chosen not to follow the course of action recommended by the Outbreak Management Team (OMT) on 24 January, which stipulated that all students who had come into contact with someone who had tested positive were allowed to come to campus if they did not have any symptoms and took self-tests for five days.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that the Cabinet found this course of action too risky. Yesterday it was announced that this rule only applies to pupils and students aged younger than 18. Older students who have come into contact with someone who has tested positive must follow the general rule, which stipulates that they do not have to quarantine if they received their booster shot more than a week ago, or if they had the coronavirus fewer than eight weeks ago \u2013 provided they don\u2019t have any symptoms. The Cabinet said nothing about the \u2018five days\u2019 self-testing\u2019 recommended by the OMT.<\/p>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/persons\" class=\"mt-6 md:mt-8 lg:mt-10\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2
