In the hospital

Isolation facility need to have negative pressure, air control (10-12 air changes per hour), double door entry and dedicated staff. If dedicated isolation room is not available, then patients can be kept in a well ventilated isolation ward with beds kept (at least) one metre apart.

At home

• Infected person should stay home for seven days; preferably isolate himself / herself in a well ventilated room. Avoid common areas frequented by other family members of the family.

• If the living space is small and more than one person need to sleep in a room, ensure that the head end of patient and others sleeping in that room are in opposite direction

• Infected person should a wear mask all the time.
