The prevention and control measures for the close contacts of close contacts have been adjusted from "7 days of centralized quarantine and medical observation" to "7 days of home quarantine and medical observation".

一是优化调整风险人员的隔离管理期限和方式，密切接触者、入境人员隔离管控时间从“14天集中隔离医学观察+7天居家健康监测”调整为“7天集中隔离医学观察+3天居家健康监测”。密接的密接管控措施，从“7天集中隔离医学观察”调整为“7天居家隔离医学观察”。
