Covid-19: Patients will be discharged even if they test positive after 14 days, says Health DG


PETALING JAYA: The Health Ministry will be discharging Covid-19 patients even if they are tested positive at the end of their two-week hospital treatment because they would not be able to infect others, says Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

The Health director-general said they are changing from the previous protocol in which they would continue to keep the patient in the hospital as long as they are tested positive on the 13th day.
