新西兰卫生部11月16日消息，为反映疫苗接种情况而对隔离措施进行的修改。已经完全接种疫苗的人如果感染了COVID-19或者是一个病例的密切接触者，现在将花费更少的时间进行隔离。接触者追踪类别已经改变，以反映社区中确诊的COVID-19病例的疫苗接种状态，以及可能接触过他们的其他人。社区中完全接种疫苗的COVID-19病例的隔离期已从14天减少到10天，并且必须包括72小时无症状。部分接种疫苗或未接种疫苗的COVID-19病例的隔离期仍为14天，包括72小时无症状。
卫生部副部长艾沙.维拉尔(Ayesha Verrall)说：”如果你接种了疫苗并感染了COVID-19，在感染的第10天，你将构成非常低的病毒传播风险，并且不需要像未接种疫苗的人那样长时间隔离。这是因为在完全接种疫苗的人身上，病毒、遗传物质的数量下降得更快。接种疫苗还有助于防止COVID-19患者患重病，并减少他们最终入院的可能性。这是我们对该病毒的最大保护”。
根据这些变化，无论疫苗接种情况如何，COVID-19病例的家庭联系人将自我隔离10天，因为这一群体感染病毒的风险最高。这一变化反映了变种病毒的不同传播动态。完全接种疫苗的密切接触者需要自我隔离7天。部分接种疫苗或未接种疫苗的密切接触者需要自我隔离10天，要完全接种疫苗，需要距离你接种第二剂疫苗7天或更长时间。
今天宣布的另一个变化是收紧对偶然增加接触类别的使用，使之成为一个极小的范围，很少有证据表明这一类别的传播。初步数据显示只有0.1%的偶然接触导致了感染。
艾沙.维拉尔说：”保持原有的接触者追踪类别会导致一些人被确定为接触者，而现在的数据告诉我们，他们的风险非常非常低”。
有关接触者追踪类别变化的信息可以在卫生部网站上找到。

，Changes to isolation to reflect vaccination status
People who are fully vaccinated will now spend less time isolating if they get COVID-19 or are a close contact of a case.
Contact tracing categories have changed to reflect the vaccination status of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the community, and others who may have been exposed to them.
The isolation period for fully vaccinated COVID-19 cases in the community has been reduced from 14 days to 10 days, and must include 72 hours symptom-free.
The isolation period for partially vaccinated or unvaccinated COVID-19 cases will remain 14 days, including 72 hours symptom-free.
If you are vaccinated and catch COVID-19, by day 10 of infection you will pose a very low risk of passing on the virus – and do not need to isolate for as long as someone who’s unvaccinated,” Associate Health Minister Ayesha Verrall said.
That’s because the amount of viral, genetic material declines faster in fully vaccinated people.
Vaccination also helps prevent a person with COVID-19 from becoming seriously ill and reduces the likelihood they’ll end up in hospital. It is the greatest protection we have against the virus.”
Under the changes, household contacts of a COVID-19 case will self-isolate for 10 days regardless of vaccination status, because this group is at highest risk of contracting the virus.
This change reflects the different transmission dynamic of the Delta variant,” Ayesha Verrall said.
Close contacts who are fully vaccinated need to self-isolate for 7 days.
Close contacts who are partially vaccinated or not vaccinated need to self-isolate for 10 days.
To be fully vaccinated, it needs to be 7 days or more since you had your second dose of the vaccine.
The other change announced today is the tightening of use of the casual plus contact category, to a narrow range of circumstances. There is very little evidence of transmission in this category, with preliminary data showing only 0.1 percent of casual plus interactions resulted in infections.
Keeping the contact tracing categories as they were would have resulted in some people being identified as contacts when the data now tells us they’re at very, very low risk,” Ayesha Verrall said.
Information about the changes to the contact tracing categories can be found on the Ministry of Health website.
