The Department of Health (DOH) issued a set of home quarantine guidelines for people who have tested positive for coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) to avoid overcrowding in hospitals as new infections continue to grow.

Individuals infected with Covid-19 who have symptoms may be quarantined at home if they have their own room and bathroom with sufficient ventilation and have oversight or medical supervision, according to Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire in a Palace briefing.

All household members of Covid-positive individuals are considered close contacts, and if they are asymptomatic, are not members of the vulnerable group, and are not intermingled with positive and symptomatic patients, they may be subjected to home quarantine.

They must also adhere to minimum public health norms, such as mask use, social distancing, and proper handwashing, according to her.

“I-maximize ang paggamit ng telemedicine services sa mga indibidwal na nag-a-isolate at nakakaranas ng mild to severe illnesses. Iwas transmission at iwas sana rin ito sa pagpuno ng ating mga ospital Avoid transmission and hospital overcrowding) “she stated

According to the guidelines, asymptomatic people or those with mild to severe symptoms should isolate for 10 days or as directed by their doctor, regardless of vaccination status.

In the meanwhile, severe and critical patients must isolate for 21 days or longer if their doctor recommends it.

“In consideration of hospital capacity, the government has decreased the isolation period of fully vaccinated medical front-liners,” Vergeire added.

Asymptomatic or mild to moderately symptomatic healthcare personnel must quarantine for five days, whereas their close contacts are not obliged to quarantine.
