Jersey Government has announced that all direct contacts of a positive case of Omicron will no longer need to isolate.
The change comes after the government received new advice from Public Health and the Scientific Technical Analytical (STAC).
Ministers had asked both bodies to review the previous policy last week.
Currently, Jersey has recorded 15 positive cases of the Omicron variant of coronavirus after sequencing tests were carried out in a UK lab.
The change has come as Public Health officials say the evidence no longer support the policy of isolating these cases for 10 days as it has a 'partial effect'.
