Assam govt lists conditions for covid patients seeking home quarantine

Live Mint  

The Assam government would allow non-symptomatic COVID-19 positive patients to go for home quarantine only if they sign an undertaking agreeing to certain conditions, Health and Family Welfare Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Saturday. Such patients have to ensure that their neighbours and housing societies have no objection to their home quarantine, there are no elderly persons in the family and they have a private physician to check their health condition every three hours, he said. Flight passengers coming to Guwahati will now be subjected to COVID-19 Antigen test at the airport and those testing negative will be allowed to go for home quarantine for 14 days, the minister said. Therefore, in the case of critical patients needing immediate hospitalisation "we have decided that their results will be processed within 24 hours, provided the samples are received prior to 12 noon each day", Sarma said.
