PUTRAJAYA: The Greater Klang Valley Special Task Force virtual Covid-19 assessment centres have been activated to ensure an efficient management response. The special task force commander Datuk Dr Chong Chee Keong said the new management guidelines take effect immediately and are expected to improve healthcare delivery by streamlining the workflow processes in managing Covid-19 patients. “The implementation of virtual CACs will decongest physical CACs, improve patient waiting time, and ensure early monitoring for all positive cases. Dr Chong said all Covid-19 patients in the Greater Klang Valley who are experiencing mild or no symptoms are to undergo home isolation and remote surveillance instead of going to assessment centres. Close contacts of Covid-19 patients are to self-isolate at home with no need for testing unless symptomatic, he said.
