This means that the patient is in a separate room and does not share items such as utensils. Even if you are showing mild symptoms or have tested positive for the coronavirus but have no symptoms, you still need to self-isolate to protect others from catching the virus. As there is no cure yet for the coronavirus, most medication given are for easing the symptoms that the patient has such as fever and cough. While attending to the patient, ensure that you have protective equipment on such as surgical masks and gloves. If the patient starts developing worse symptoms such as shortness of breath, contact the doctor or the Ministry of Health immediately.
