What does the entry 7+3 home isolation policy mean?

The entry 7+3 isolation policy means: 7 days means 7 days of centralized isolation, and 3 days means 3 days of home isolation. It is a further optimization of prevention and control measures according to the epidemic characteristics of Omicron mutant, which will not increase the risk of epidemic spread and is the embodiment of precise prevention and control.

The "7+3" policy is adopted because the average incubation period of Omicron mutants is further shortened, mostly 2-4 days, and most of them can be detected within 7 days.

According to the pilot research results and the practice of epidemic prevention and control in many places in China, in the ninth edition of the prevention and control plan, the quarantine control time of entry personnel was adjusted from the original "14 days of centralized isolation medical observation +7 days of home health monitoring" to "7 days of centralized isolation medical observation +3 days of home health monitoring".

Home isolation requires the observed person to stay indoors, "one person, one room and one bathroom" and have a separate room to live in. Central air conditioning communicating with other rooms cannot be used in the room. Disinfectants such as medical surgical masks, disinfectant paper towels and 84 disinfectant should be prepared, and garbage bins covered with plastic bags should be set up. Try not to have too much overlap and contact with your family when you are isolated at home. If the living conditions cannot meet the requirements of home isolation, centralized isolation should still be implemented.
