Revised norms for COVID-19 positive international travellers
The Hindu
‘Asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic cases can be discharged on fifth day’
If the State’s COVID-19 Technical Advisory Committee’s (TAC) recommendations are implemented by the Government, institutional isolation and hospitalisation of all asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic international travellers, testing positive on arrival, will be reduced to five days from the existing 10.
Taking note of the simmering discontent over mandatory hospitalisation of even asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic international travellers, the TAC that held its 145th meeting on Monday night, recommended that such patients should be put up in COVID Care Centres (CCCs).
These can be free government CCCs, budget hotels (attached to a government hospital) and private CCC (of different categories like 3 star, 5 star, etc.) on payment basis (attached to private hospitals).
