Home Quarantine For Coronavirus Infected

Preparations are underway for Kuwait to return to normal after the lockdown ends in  June, and allow for coexistence with virus cases as the fight to reduce the coronavirus spread is turning into a lengthy war. It has been deemed necessary to adapt to the problems posed by the coronavirus and find ways to resume work in various sectors as many are suffering financial strain.

A daily reported that health sources are not worried about the high rate of daily infections, especially in the last week, as the increase is due to the large random swab testing taking place daily between 4,000 to 5,000 and that about 97 per cent of infected suffer from minor symptoms or they do not show symptoms. The rate of cases of infected that require intensive care is only about 2% and the death rate is less than 1%.

The daily reported that the ministry is going to institute a special protocol to handle coronavirus infected patients by providing them with health services in accordance with the highest quality standards, dividing and identifying cases that necessitate transfer to designated hospitals or health quarantines or home quarantine.

The daily added that the protocol for home quarantine set up includes a medical follow-up for cases without any symptoms with a suitable place for isolation.

The Ministry of Health reported the number of coronavirus infections in Kuwait rose yesterday to 14,850 with the registration of 1,048 new cases, compared to 250 cases of recovery, bringing the total number of people recovered to 4,093, and 5 deaths.

The number of deaths since the beginning of the crisis has increased to 112. Yesterday 242 infections were recorded among Kuwaitis which is the highest number of cases among citizens since the beginning of the coronavirus crisis.
