The period of stay in quarantine has been significantly reduced in Kazakhstan. If a person has a negative PCR test on the 7th day, self-isolation is terminated ahead of schedule. Kazakh Health Minister Azhar Giniyat announced this at a government meeting. According to her, if a person has not passed a second PCR test a week later, then his quarantine ends on the 10th day.
