The pandemic response task force recently approved the home management of certain COVID-positive individuals and their close contacts, as the country deals with yet another alarming surge in fresh infections.
Close contacts of suspect, probable or confirmed COVID-19 cases are also permitted to undergo home quarantine.At the minimum, those undergoing home isolation or quarantine must have a dedicated room and toilet, according to Department of Health Circular 2022-0002. They also must be monitored by a health care provider or a local government unit.
The patient's primary caregiver must remain in the residence, the circular adds. He or she must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, isn't at high risk for complications, and is educated on proper precautions. The caregiver should also possess a recommended meal plan or information materials on proper nutrition, along with access to basic necessities like delivery services.
Surgical masks are required for the patient and the caregiver during the isolation period. However, the circular also encourages the entire household to observe this.

Does the local govt inspect each household to comply with the conditions and requirements? And if reqts are not met do they have enough quarantine facility for everyone?
Regardless of vaccination status, cases that are asymptomatic, mild or moderate must isolate for 10 days. Meanwhile, fully vaccinated close contacts are required to quarantine for seven days while the unvaccinated or partially vaccinated have a 14-day quarantine period.
Hospitals and Government authorities must to have an equal and balance treating people for this kind of situation so for us to save more life of our kababayans it's not just more than words more expectations ..let's all help everyone and work hand and hand and praying for all👍🙏🏼
That is why we need to increase and enhance the capacity of the barangay health unit so they can help properly response to emergencies like this. It will also help ease out the burden of hospitals and at the same time will decrease the financial burdens of us ordinary people.
Good move✅

Pang-mayaman lang applicable 'tong gan'to eh. 😂 'yung tipong marami kang kwarto na merong sariling CR or meron kang ibang bahay. Deeeym. Nasa'n ang hustisya sa mahihirap.
Thank you very much for sharing
menchumacapagal Thanks for sharing. Big help nowadays 🙏🏻
A surgical mask for an airborne virus isn't enough protection. At the very least, patients and caretakers should wear KF94 or KN95s, masks with higher filtration.
Perhaps hospitals should not admit patients who are experiencing mild symptoms?
Mga sir....yung mga home meds, otc meds....out of stock.
