ANKARA (AA) - Turkiye on Wednesday lifted quarantine requirements for thrice-vaccinated people who have come into contact with someone infected with COVID-19.

"All positive cases will be able to end isolation after seven days," Health Minister Fahrettin Koca said in a video message after a meeting of the country's COVID-19 Scientific Committee.

Koca added that the committee had also lifted PCR screening test requirements for people who have come in contact with others infected with the coronavirus.

"From now on, PCR tests will only be conducted on people showing symptoms," added the minister.
