Health department issues guidelines to follow in ‘home isolation’

13 Sept 05:54 Key points summarised by AI

Establish strict physical separation and hygiene: Isolate individuals in well-ventilated areas, maintain 1-2 meter distance, and use separate personal items like towels, cutlery, and if possible, bathrooms.
Monitor health and recognize warning signs: Regularly check body temperature and seek immediate medical attention if symptoms escalate, such as a fever above 37.5oC, breathing difficulties, or a drop in blood oxygen levels.
Implement protective measures for household members: Those living with an infected individual must wear masks, wash hands frequently, avoid sharing food or drinks, and maintain physical distance.
Manage waste and maintain communal cleanliness: Properly dispose of contaminated waste (e.g., masks) by treating it with bleach and double-bagging, and ensure daily cleaning of common household areas.
