In the face of the fact that COVID-19 symptoms have changed, whether or not one needs to be quarantined if infected..., speaking with a reporter from Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper, Master - Doctor Le Hong Nga, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Center for Disease Control (HCDC), said that to be diagnosed with COVID-19, one must be tested.
The regulations on isolating people with COVID-19 have not changed yet. Accordingly, people with COVID-19 who have been diagnosed must be isolated at home according to the instructions of the Ministry of Health . To date, this instruction has not changed.
If infected with COVID-19, patients must declare on the F0 management platform at https://khaibaof0.tphcm.gov.vn
According to Dr. Nga, people who test positive for COVID-19 must declare on the F0 management digital platform. If they cannot declare via the software, they should call the ward health department for instructions on quarantine.
Explaining the reason why COVID-19 must be isolated in the current situation, the Russian doctor said that COVID-19 is an infectious disease, transmitted through the respiratory tract. Therefore, the disease can still be transmitted to others. For normal, healthy people, the disease can be like a common cold. However, for people in the risk group - such as the elderly, those with underlying diseases (diabetes, blood pressure, etc.), immunodeficiency, etc. - when infected with COVID-19, it will be very serious.
Individuals with infectious diseases must be aware of staying at home and self-isolating to avoid spreading the disease to others. This is a responsibility and is stipulated in the Law on Prevention of Infectious Diseases.
"Ending the COVID-19 emergency does not mean the end of the pandemic. Because there are still people in danger if they get COVID-19," the Russian doctor emphasized.
How does F0 comply with home quarantine?
According to HCDC, if you have COVID-19, you need to comply with home isolation. Patients should limit leaving the isolation room as much as possible and must not leave the house. When leaving the isolation room, you must wear a mask and keep your distance from others. Do not share utensils or eat or drink with others. Do not come into close contact with other people or pets.
HCDC said that when there is a positive rapid test result at home for COVID-19, it is necessary to access the link: https://khaibaof0.tphcm.gov.vn to declare F0; quarantine, treat for 7 days and have a negative rapid test result on day 7; access the above link again and declare the completion of quarantine; contact the local health station to get a certificate of quarantine completion.
After 7 days, if the test result is still positive, continue to isolate for 10 days for people who have received enough doses of vaccine and 14 days for people who have not received enough doses of vaccine.
What should F0, caregivers or people living with F0 do?
For F0, it is necessary to limit leaving the isolation room as much as possible, not leaving the house. When leaving the isolation room, you must wear a mask, keep your distance from other people, especially those in the risk group.
Caregivers or housemates must always wear masks and keep their distance when in contact with F0. The isolation area must be kept well-ventilated and contain items that are difficult to clean. Wash or sanitize your hands regularly. Disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces such as table tops, doorknobs, handheld devices, toilets, sinks, etc. daily and when dirty. Sort and collect infectious waste according to regulations.
When isolating at home, F0 will self-monitor their health such as: measuring body temperature, counting breathing rate, measuring SpO2 (if there is a device) at least twice a day, or when feeling tired or having difficulty breathing. Continue using medications to treat underlying diseases as prescribed by the doctor. Wash or disinfect hands regularly. Wash nose, gargle daily with saline. Have the phone number of the medical staff at the facility managing COVID-19 patients at home to contact when needing advice, support, or the rapid response team at the commune and district levels.
