Is the quarantine 7 days or 14 days, the difference between 7 days and 14 days

If the nucleic acid test of the close contact is negative, the close contact only needs to quarantine for 7 days. However, if the nucleic acid test result of a close contact is positive, the close contact will be transferred to close contact management for 14 days.

A close contact is a close contact of a close contact. This category of people refers to people who live and live with close contacts, work in the same closed environment, have meals and entertainment for the first time, but do not take effective protective measures.

However, the number of days of quarantine for the next close contact needs to be determined by the nucleic acid test results of the close contacts. If the nucleic acid test of the close contact is negative, the close contact only needs to quarantine for 7 days. However, if the nucleic acid test result of a close contact is positive, the close contact will be transferred to close contact management for 14 days.

Legal Analysis: This is because the quarantine period of infectious diseases is determined according to the incubation period of the disease. The incubation period is the period of time between the invasion of a pathogen and the onset of clinical symptoms.

The incubation period of pneumonia infected by the new coronavirus is generally 3-7 days, and the longest is not more than 14 days, which is contagious. Referring to the incubation period of diseases caused by other coronaviruses, the relevant information of the novel coronavirus infection case, and the current prevention and control practice, the medical observation period for close contacts is set at 14 days.

Legal basis: Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Treatment of Infectious Diseases

Article 42: When an infectious disease breaks out or becomes prevalent, the local people** at or above the county level shall immediately organize forces to carry out prevention and control in accordance with the prevention and control plan, cut off the channels of transmission of the infectious disease, and when necessary, report to the people** at the next higher level for decision, and may take the following emergency measures and make an announcement: (1) Restrict or stop fairs, theater performances, or other activities where people gather; (2) Suspension of work, business, or classes; (3) Sealing or sealing public drinking water sources, food, and related articles contaminated by infectious disease pathogens; (4) Controlling or culling infected wildlife, livestock, or poultry; (5) Closing places that may cause the spread of infectious diseases.

The difference between 7 days and 14 days of quarantine is that the standards are different. The criteria for 7 days of quarantine are:

1. The whole family is not allowed to go out when leaving the medical observation, and the observation subjects should be placed in a well-ventilated single room, and all visits should be refused. The territory arranges special personnel to be on duty in shifts, and the personnel on duty must do a good job of personal protection;

2. Family members should minimize contact with the observation object and its supplies, wear a mask when contact is necessary, the mask should be close to the face, and do not touch and adjust the mask in the living space. Masks become wet and dirty due to secretions and must be replaced immediately. Wash your hands with soap and water, preferably disposable paper towels, after contact.

Quarantine for 14 days requires suspected persons to consciously isolate and observe for 14 days to reduce outdoor activities. Do not have close contact with others unless necessary. If the quarantined person has any symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, diarrhea, and chronic disease attack, he or she should contact the home isolation medical observation management personnel in time and send them to the hospital for treatment in time.

In addition, it should be noted that during the home isolation period, due to low energy consumption, it is recommended to reduce the amount of food and drink, which is about 70% to 80% of the usual amount, especially after getting up every morning, drinking a moderate amount of warm water is good for the body, and it is not recommended to drink too many carbonated drinks.

Article 39 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Treatment of Infectious Diseases When medical institutions discover Class A infectious diseases, they shall take the following measures in a timely manner:

2) For suspected patients, isolate them in a designated place before they are confirmed**;

3) Conduct medical observation and take other necessary preventive measures in designated places for patients, pathogen carriers, and close contacts of suspected patients in medical establishments.

When medical establishments discover patients with Class B or C infectious diseases, they shall take necessary measures to control the spread of infectious diseases according to their conditions.

Medical establishments must disinfect and harmlessly dispose of places, articles and medical waste contaminated by infectious disease pathogens in their units in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations on sock destruction.

Article 41: For persons in places where cases of Class A infectious diseases have already occurred or in specific areas within the premises, the local people** at or above the county level where they are located may implement isolation measures, and at the same time report to the people** at the next higher level; The people at the higher level who receive the report shall immediately make a decision on whether to approve it.

The quarantine is 14 days.

During the isolation period, it is necessary to cooperate with health monitoring such as temperature measurement every day, and after the isolation period expires for 14 days, the isolation can only be lifted after being assessed by the relevant responsible departments. A 14-day quarantine is required to enter China, and all persons entering the country should be quarantined for 14 days, regardless of nationality. Persons who have had close contact with the common strain of the new coronavirus and suspected cases and confirmed cases from 2 days before the onset of symptoms or from 2 days before the sampling of specimens from asymptomatic infected persons but have not taken effective protection:

Article 12 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Treatment of Infectious Diseases All units and individuals within the territory of the People's Republic of China must accept the prevention and control measures of disease prevention and control institutions and medical institutions related to infectious diseases, such as investigation, inspection, sample collection, and isolation, and truthfully provide relevant information. Disease prevention and control institutions and medical establishments must not disclose information or materials related to personal privacy. Where the administrative departments of health and other relevant departments, disease prevention and control institutions and medical institutions infringe upon the lawful rights and interests of units and individuals due to the illegal implementation of administrative management or prevention and control measures, the relevant units and individuals may apply for administrative reconsideration or file a lawsuit in accordance with law.

Article 17 The State shall establish a surveillance system for infectious diseases. Health administrative departments formulate national plans and programmes for the surveillance of infectious diseases. The people's health administrative departments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall, in accordance with the national plans and programs for the surveillance of infectious diseases, formulate plans and work plans for the surveillance of infectious diseases in their respective administrative regions.

Disease prevention and control institutions at all levels shall monitor the occurrence and prevalence of infectious diseases and the factors affecting their occurrence and epidemic, and monitor the occurrence and prevalence of infectious diseases that have occurred abroad, those that have not yet occurred in China, or the newly occurring infectious diseases in China.

The six categories of people in the epidemic are as follows:

1. Confirmed cases that have not been **;

2. Suspected cases that have not been ruled out;

3. Close contacts who have not been released from isolation for medical observation;

4. Those who have not been released from home isolation for medical observation;

5. **Those who have been discharged from the hospital for less than 14 days in home isolation;
