Suspected Covid-19 Case Management

If a visitor shows symptoms compatible with COVID-19 infection, the following applies;

  • A doctor is called to evaluate the incident

  • If the patient has an urgent need for hospitalisation, presents a serious clinical picture, they are referred to the relevant health unit, as a suspected case of COVID-19. If it is not possible to manage a COVID-19 case from the health infrastructure of the area, there must be a provision for transporting the patient (EKAB, floating ambulance, air transport) to the nearest health unit which can manage it.

  • If the patient has a mild clinical picture, a sample for laboratory confirmation of COVID-19 is obtained from the physician.

  • If the incident is assessed as a possible COVID-19 by the examining physician, the health officer of the company will communicate IMMEDIATELY with EODY at 210 5212054 or the special four-digit number 1135 (24 hours a day) in order to report the case and ask for instructions on how to deal with it.

  • A patient with a mild clinical picture remains in his/her room until the results of the laboratory test are announced.

  • During the above waiting period, the entry of staff into the patient’s room is avoided if there is no significant reason. If necessary, a staff member of the accommodation is advised to deal exclusively with the possible case.

  • The doctor and the staff of the accommodation who will enter the room of the suspected or later confirmed case must use high-protection personal protective equipment (MAP) mask, goggles, disposable and waterproof robes. The same applies to the staff cleaning the COVID-19 patient room.
