The Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (No. 4) (Wales) Regulations 2020

Requirement to isolate after close contact: adult

13.—(1) This regulation applies where an adult (“A”) is notified by a contact tracer that A has had close contact on or after 9 November 2020 with a person who has tested positive for coronavirus (“P”).

(2) A may not leave or be outside the place where A is living before the end of the last day of A’s isolation unless regulation 15 applies.

(3) A must notify a contact tracer, if requested, of the address of the place where A is living.

(4) The last day of A’s isolation is the last day of the period of 14 days beginning with the day which a contact tracer records as being the last day on which A had close contact with P before A received the notification referred to in paragraph (1).

(5) But where A is living in the same place as P, the last day of A’s isolation is—

(a) where P, or, where P is a child, a responsible adult (“R”) on P’s behalf, reports to a contact tracer the day on which P’s symptoms first developed, the last day of the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which P, or R, reports as being the day on which P’s symptoms first developed;

(b) where no symptoms are reported, the last day of the period 14 days beginning with the day of the test which led to the notification being given to P, or R, that P had tested positive for coronavirus.
