On Wednesday 5 October 2022, the Luxembourg Government Council decided to amend the national COVID-19 measures, including reducing the isolation period to four days.
The Government Council adopted the bill amending the amended law of 17 July 2020 on COVID-19 measures in Luxembourg. This bill aims to maintain minimum measures in force until the end of March 2023 while retaining the option of revising the law quickly in the event of the emergence of a more pathogenic variant.
The following changes are foreseen:
• the duration of the isolation period for infected individuals will be reduced from seven to four days;
• infected individuals will no longer have to isolate at home;
• systematic contact tracing will come to an end.
The Government Council also approved the recommendations of the Superior Council of Infectious Diseases concerning a second booster dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
