Mandatory self-isolation period for COVID patients will be cut from the current seven to five days in May and be scrapped completely in July if the situation continues to stabilize.Health authorities expect COVID to become endemic like the seasonal flu in the first half of next year and lift all remaining restrictions. They pointed out that the proportion of serious COVID cases and deaths has dropped more than 20 times since the early days of the pandemic.Along the way, the COVID risk alert will be reduced from "serious" to "caution" in late April, when the World Health Organization is expected to declare the end of the COVID-19 health emergency.
