Category: Article Summary
Topic: Clinical Characteristics and Health Care Setting
- Tay et al. discuss the challenges of de-isolating COVID-19 suspect cases in Singapore. They report that no single indicator may be effectively used to decide on de-isolation of suspect cases. They provide criteria for de-isolation for COVID-19 suspect cases and conclude that a rigorous framework is required to help clinicians de-isolate COVID-19 patients safely.
