Anyone who doesn't qualify for a PCR test will have to take a rapid test. A positive rapid test will be treated as a positive result, which means it doesn't have to be confirmed by a PCR test. Shortened isolation requirementThose who do test positive, either from a rapid test or PCR test, now have reduced isolation requirements depending on vaccination status. Vaccinated people who test positive will need to isolate for five days, while those who are unvaccinated will need to isolate for 10 days. Reduced contact tracingThose who test positive for COVID-19 are also expected to do their own contact tracing now.
