The Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (No. 5) (Wales) Regulations 2020

Requirement to isolate: child with coronavirus

7.—(1) This regulation applies where an adult (“A”) is notified by a contact tracer that a child (“C”) for whom A is a responsible adult has tested positive for coronavirus.

(2) C may not leave or be outside the place where C is living before the end of the last day of C’s isolation unless regulation 10 or 11 applies.

(3) If requested by a contact tracer, A must notify the contact tracer—

(a) of the name of each person living at the place where C is living, and

(b) of the address of that place.

(4) The last day of C’s isolation is the last day of the period of 10 days beginning with the day after the day of the test which led to the notification referred to in paragraph (1) being given.

(5) But in a case where A reports to a contact tracer the day on which C’s symptoms first developed, the last day of C’s isolation is the last day of the period of 10 days beginning with the day after the day which A reports as being the day on which C’s symptoms first developed.
