case asymptomatic or mild/medium symptoms. 
Isolation can be longer if clinical picture is severe
Positive cases
all symptomatic should isolation until 48 hours after 
end of symptoms
asymptomatic should isolate until 7 days after test

7 days
Isolated for 10 days after onset of symptoms, and at 
least 2 days after resolution of symptoms
Self isolate if they have symptoms of coronavirus they 
are waiting for a test appointment and test results 
they have had a positive test result for coronavirus 
they have any cold or flu-like symptoms, such as a 
fever (high temperature - 38 degrees Celsius or 
above), a cough - this can be any kind of cough, not 
just dry, loss or change to your sense of smell or taste. 
People can stop self-isolating if they have no fever for 
5 days and it has been 10 days since they first 
developed symptoms.

Symptomatic for 14 days from the onset of symptoms 
and without any symptoms for at least 3 days
Symptomatic cases from high-risk professions – 21 
days and without symptoms for at least 3 days OR 2 
consecutive negative tests. Asymptomatic cases are 
isolated for 7 days, cases from high-risk professions – 
14 day. 
Persons have to quarantine themselves for 7 days 
from the day of the confirmed diagnosis (in the 
majority of cases, symptoms will have appeared within 
that period), in order to limit transmission of the virus 
to people living under the same roof and the 
community as a whole. 
Persons have to get tested from the sixth day on for 
COVID-19 in a laboratory. If the sixth day is on a 
weekend (Sa/Su), they get tested on the next working 
day. For an additional seven days, they must continue 
to measure their temperature twice  a day and make 
sure there are no breathing problems or coughing. 
During  auto-monitoring, normal activities can be 
continued. 
Currently people who show COVID-19 related 
symptoms are required to self-isolate. The patient 
stays in self-isolation until he/she has had no 
symptoms for at least 24 hours. 

- isolation - at home or hospital depending of the 
doctor recommendation, in correlation with medical 
condition and acceptance of the measure by the 
patient.

required to quarantine together with the people in 
their household and close contacts of the past 10 days

You should be free from fever for two days and clearly 
feel well before returning to work or school. A dry 
cough and loss of smell and taste may remain but if 
you feel well otherwise and seven days have passed 
since you fell ill you can return to work, school or 
preschool.
If you have been tested without symptoms and 
received a positive test result, you must stay home for 
at least seven days after the sampling. Should you 
develop symptoms after the sampling, you may count 
from the day when symptoms appear and follow the 
recommendations above.
The same applies if you have been ill, but not with 
COVID-19: stay at home for as long as you are ill. You 
should clearly feel better and be free from fever for

Quarantine details - where quarantine concerns suspected cases, 
contacts 
Close contacts should quarantine for 10 days after the last exposure
Travellers should self-quarantine
Quarantine has been reduced to 7 days, with a test at day 7. It is a 
political decision based on scientific advice. 
Contacts should stay at home until test results
Travellers from Red zones in the EU or 3rd country should quarantine 
for 7 days
In 
 travellers from ‘red zones’ (with a cumulative 14-days incidence 
rate of more than 100/100.000), have to self-isolate and perform a test 
after arrival. Soon, 
will introduce a self-assessment tool that will be 
used to identify high-risk travellers (linked to their behaviour).
returning travellers from countries with a required PCR test and who do 
not present such a test should quarantine for 14 days
Close contact should quarantine
Quarantine possibly reducing, under discussion. We could increase 
compliance by shortening it. We have difficult situation now – people 
resisting and not understanding purpose of quarantine. 
Third-country nationals who do not present a negative PCR result of a 
nasal and throat swab for SARS-Cov-2 at the border crossing point, 
which is not older than 48 hours, are subject to a 14 day quarantine. 
Countries are divided in 3 categories, based on epidemiological criteria 
and data: Category A, Category B, and all other countries that do not 
belong to Category A or B (classified as Category C).
The categorisation of countries is available at 
https:/
/country-categories and is updated 
on a weekly basis, according to the evolution of the epidemiological 
situation.
Contacts should quarantine for 10 days
Travellers should self-quarantine
self isolate until test results ready
 Self-quarantine for 14 days is recommended for all travellers coming 
from countries with a COVID-19-incidence of more than 30/100.000

People are allowed to enter Estonia and do not have to remain in 
quarantine if they have no symptoms of the disease and they are 
arriving from agreed countries that have infection rate per 100 000 less 
than 16.
In FI, starting from 23 November, travellers arriving from high-incidence 
areas are required to show evidence of negative PCR test on arrival. 
Upon arrival, passengers from high-incidence areas have to stay in 
mandatory quarantine for 14 days. If travellers are tested upon arrival 
and 3 days after arrival, the mandatory quarantine can be released after 
receiving a test negative result

7 days
need to check. Differnet situation according whether you are a close 
contact/symptomatic. Will send scientific advice. Comment: all different 
periods, even scientists never agree with each other. Always difficult to 
find same recommendation. Also, in 
, we see that people don’t 
comply with 14 days. Balanced decision – do we loose everybody? 
People cannot stay home, especially if they are not sick. Or we reduce 
duration quarantine, maybe compliance will be higher. Even though 
some can still transmit after 7 days. Recommend people wear face 
masks. 
Contacts category I - 14 day quarantine

a close contact of a confirmed case of coronavirus and don’t have any
