People with Covid in Scotland no longer need to self-isolate and contact
tracing has come to an end as case numbers continue to fall.
Covid-19 infections have dropped for the fifth successive week, with
about one in 25 people having the virus, compared with one in 19 last week.
Following a change in Scottish government guidance, anyone feeling
unwell with Covid symptoms is now advised to just stay at home.
Why do we no longer need to self-isolate?

Health Secretary Humza Yousaf says Scotland is now in a "different phase
of the pandemic" and is "focused on reducing severe harm of the virus".
Covid-19 is effectively now being treated in the same way as any other
virus.
What is happening with testing?

You will no longer be advised to take a PCR test, mass testing has
ended, testing sites are closing and test and trace has finished. Free
lateral flow tests for the general population have already come to an end.
The Protect Scotland app will be closed down but users are advised to
keep the app on their phones in case it is needed again at a future date.
What are the Covid symptoms?
New recognised symptoms
Scotland's list of official Covid-19 symptoms has now been expanded,
bringing it closer in line with guidance in the rest of the UK.
The original signs of a Covid infection that were recognised in the UK
were fever, new continuous cough and loss of sense of smell or taste.
Additions to the list in Scotland now include: shortness of breath,
unexplained tiredness, lack of energy, muscle aches or pains, unusual
hunger, headaches, sore throat, stuffy or runny nose, and diarrhoea,
feeling sick or being sick.
What do I do if I have symptoms?

Adults who have symptoms of Covid and other respiratory illnesses and
have a high temperature, or do not feel well enough to go to work or
carry out normal activities, will be advised to stay at home until their
fever has gone or they feel well enough.
Children and young people aged 18 and under with mild symptoms such as a
runny nose, sore throat, or slight cough who are otherwise well, do not
need to stay at home and can continue to attend education settings.
The Scottish government says this reflects the fact that children and
young people generally have a higher likelihood than adults of regular
instances of respiratory symptoms from non-Covid illnesses.
How is the NHS affected?

Health and social care workers are among those who can still be tested
NHS Scotland has now also been taken out of emergency footing as Covid
cases continue to fall.
However, testing will remain available to certain groups including
health and social care workers, care home and hospital visitors,
patients groups eligible for treatment, hospital patients, unpaid carers
and people in prison.
What is the expert opinion?

Public health expert Prof Linda Bauld says people can still become
really unwell with Covid and those with a high temperature are strongly
advised to stay at home. If they still have lateral flow tests in the
house and test positive, adults should isolate for five days and
children for three days.
She warns that the pandemic is not over yet and says measures may need
to be reassessed if a new Covid-19 variant "really challenged" the
progress made.
Are vaccinations still happening?

Those eligible for the spring booster are adults aged 75 years and over
(or who will turn 75 by 30 June 2022), residents in care homes for older
adults and individuals aged 12 years and over who have a weakened immune
systems.
For some immunosuppressed people this may be their fifth jab, as extra
doses were given to those with certain health conditions.
All five to 11-year-olds in the UK are eligible for a low-dose Covid
vaccine.
What is the situation with masks?

People in Scotland are no longer legally required to wear face coverings
in crowded indoor places such as shops and restaurants, or on public
transport. However, the Scottish government and health experts are still
strongly advising people to continue to wear masks voluntarily.

the U.K. & elsewhere is by rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 )
finding out at any given moment, including even while on-line, who
among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or
asymptomatic) in order to http://tinyurl.com/ConvinceItForward (John

doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the
best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage
mutations and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota,
Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations combining via
slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids like

vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no longer effective.
Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( http://tinyurl.com/RapidOmicronTest

So how are you ?
...because we mindfully choose to openly care with our heart,
