The Ministry of Health has said asymptomatic COVID-19 patients can be t treated in their own homes.
The Ministry of Health has in a media statement said that a rise in the number of COVID-19 cases, has led to the congestion of interim treatment centres and dedicated COVID-19 hospitals. Thus, there is a delay in admitting a COVID-19 patient to a hospital in the Western Province and several other parts of the country.
“A number of health unions including the Government Medical Officers Association (GMOA) have urged us to come up with a mechanism to treat some patients at home. If not, there would be increasing numbers of people who die of complications due to late hospital admissions, they warned.
