Individuals that are a part of the vaccine trials will receive a ‘gold star’ on the app after all the doses for the trial have been administered and once the have also had a PCR test. The symbol remains valid for 7 days.

Individuals that are part of the vaccine trials will have to get tested as required by the trials.

Vaccinated individuals that come in contact with a positive case, need to quarantine for 5 days and will have to take a PCR test on day 4. If the test comes back negative, the individual does not need to quarantine any longer.
