As of January 3, 2022, the isolation rules are the same for individuals who are positive regardless of the variant (Delta or Omicron).

For positive individuals having a completed vaccination scheme (booster performed according to health pass requirements) and for children under 12 years old.

Isolation is now for seven full days after the date of onset of signs or the date of the positive test. However, after 5 days, the positive individual may be released from isolation under two conditions:

• an antigenic test (TAG) is performed or RTPCR and the result is negative
• the person has no clinical signs of infection for 48 hours

If the test result is positive or if the individual does not perform a test, the isolation is maintained for 7 days. The person does not perform a second test at D7.

For positive individuals with an incomplete vaccination schedule (booster not done) and for non-vaccinated individuals

Isolation is for 10 full days after the date of onset of signs or the date of the positive test result. However, after 7 days, the positive person may be released from isolation under two conditions:

• an antigenic test (TAG) is performed or RTPCR and the result is negative
• the person has no clinical signs of infection for 48 hours

If the test is positive or if the person does not perform a test, the isolation is for 10 days.

For case-contact individuals with a complete vaccination schedule (booster carried out in accordance with health pass requirements)

There is no longer a quarantine, however, case contacts should strictly comply with sanitary measures, including wearing masks both indoors and outdoors, physical distancing, avoiding contact with individuals at risk of severe Covid, and working remotely whenever possible.

In addition, case contacts should perform a TAG or RT-PCR test as soon as they learn that they are a case contact, and then perform self-tests at D2 and D4 after the last contact with the positive person.

If the self-test is positive, the result must be confirmed by a TAG or RT-PCR test. If the test is positive, the individual becomes a case and starts isolation process.

Self-tests, which are part of the screening scheme for case-contact individuals (for persons with a complete vaccination schedule and children under 12 years of age), will be paid for by the health insurance and provided free of charge in pharmacies after the test has been performed on the day the individual is identified as a case-contact.
