January 15, 2021 As local health officials continue to battle a backlog of cases a decision has been taken to release people from quarantine who are asymptomatic and who have been awaiting their COVID-19 PCR test results. The new system, which started on Thursday and will be done on a case-by-case basis, will see individuals being issued with a Certificate of Release from the Chief Medical Officer. During a media briefing on Thursday evening, medical officials explained that it will apply to those who have reached or passed their 14 days in quarantine as well as those who are 10 to 13 days in quarantine.
