With many Covid-19 asymptomatic patients being recommended for home isolation daily, the State Government has issued guidelines for self-monitoring of health condition during such isolation period.
In a letter, the Health and Family Welfare Department has directed all district Collectors and municipal Commissioners to ensure strict adherence to protocols by patients.
Asymptomatic patients need to stay in home isolation for 10 days from the date on which swab is collected.For symptomatic cases, the 10 days’ isolation period begins from the date of onset of symptoms.
Patients can discontinue home isolation after completion of 10 days’ of symptoms onset if they don’t get fever for three days.
Patients will be advised to isolate at home and self-monitor their health for further seven days before joining work.
