Then the doctor will decide whether they have mild or moderate to severe disease.
So if they have moderate to severe disease and if the patients are suspected to be
PUI, we will contact the ID physician on-call and patients will be sent to hospital

for admission with a designated ambulance. But, if a patient does not have any
history of contact with COVID-19 patients, that makes COVID-19 unlikely, but

since he/she has moderate to severe disease, we will still send him/her for
admission. However, we will admit the patient as SARI with COVID-19 unlikely.

For those with mild disease and suspected to be PUI, we will notify PKD. We will

arrange a date for them to come back for the nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal
swab. We'll give them a home assessment tool and remind them to come back if

the disease worsens. Otherwise, the PPKP will visit them in their home and serve
them the home quarantine orders. If we suspect them of having influenza or URTI,
we will manage them accordingly.
