NPHET is allowing the government ease more restrictions from today – including the return to some workplaces




Many people believe that NPHET has been running the show for the past year and a half, and you could be forgiven as to why they’d think that.

From today, NPHET has agreed to allow the government pursue its plan to further lift restrictions starting next Monday in light of the latest data on Covid-19.

The requirement that children deemed close contacts of a confirmed Covid-19 case be assessed and their movements restricted could also end later this month.

NPHET agreed that this change could be implemented if no significant school program is watched in the meantime.

The position of the NPHET remains that antigen tests are usually not useful for the detection of people without symptoms and that the health department has sufficient capacity for PCR tests.

Starting from today, there may be a gradual and staggered return to work for certain business requirements.

Restrictions on group outdoor activities are lifted and organised indoor activities have increased capacity.
