The Ministry of Health stands by its protocols for the\u00a0 treatment and discharge from hospital of COVID-19 patients.<\/p>\n
Responding to claims made in a series of videos circulating on social media and during\u00a0 an interview on the programme, Ridealong Live, the Ministry of Health asserts that there\u00a0 are requisite protocols which are duly followed when a COVID-19 case is confirmed or\u00a0 present in the hospital environment.<\/p>\n
In keeping with health protocols, persons testing positive for COVID-19 are isolated and\u00a0 treated for their presenting symptoms.<\/p>\n
When the patient is sufficiently stable, the protocols provide for their discharge from\u00a0 hospital, with advice to continue treatment at home and to self-isolate for a further seven\u00a0 days. COVID-19 patients are therefore advised to ensue adherence to these guidelines\u00a0 to help prevent further spread of the virus.<\/p>\n
Health officials continue to monitor discharged COVID-19 patients and will provide\u00a0 medical clearance at the appropriate time.<\/p>\n
The public is advised to avoid any physical contact with persons known to have tested\u00a0 positive for COVID-19, for the duration of their illness.<\/p>\n
Further, the public is advised to follow all recommended COVID-19 protocols for their own\u00a0 safety. These include wearing a mask or other facial covering when in public, maintaining\u00a0 physical distance and avoiding mass gatherings, as well as frequently washing or\u00a0 sanitising hands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
