COVID-19 management at home - When should you go to a hospital?

article image placeholderHealth Ministry issues guidelines for management of adult COVID-19 patients
While these guidelines by the health Ministry are surely helpful, we do hope to have an open and free flowing discussion here with doctors and medical practitioners from the front lines whose suggestions and recommendations would give us a bit more of clarity that we all desperately need on when to home quarantine and on when one should seek admission in a hospital on testing positive. So please feel free to share your thoughts, experiences, ideas or suggestions in this well and together. Let's write this way out. Thank you

And we provide services like vaccination testing and treatment of positive patients for the folks out there who are covered positive and cannot find a bed or for people who have symptoms but cannot get tested because of how much backlog the testing sites have. Home isolation is the only way right now and people are panicking. Oh, my God, you're not getting beds to those people. I say home quarantine could save 90% of this population

Covid in children

And of course, the child requires isolation at home for a period of 14 days when the child needs admission in the hospital. And further observation is one. If the child has any comorbidities like a chronic liver or kidney ailment or is on immunosuppressive agents like steroids or has any heart ailments or on any drug for that matter is diabetic, then mild symptoms in these children who have no immediate access to health care needs to be admitted and observed
