Punjab's Primary and Secondary Healthcare Department has issued official guidelines for home isolation for Covid-19 patients.
According to the notification issued by the department, patients who have tested positive but are asymptomatic or are experiencing mild symptoms will be eligible for isolation at home or at a facility notified or established by the government. The Home Isolation Committee will determine if a patient qualifies for home isolation by:
confirming that there are "sufficient number of single rooms [...] to accommodate one or more than one Covid-19 patient(s)"
checking the "level of education of the family" and their general understanding of the disease
Patients isolated at home will be bound to monitor and report their symptoms to the health department daily. They will also be bound to comply with the testing protocols set by the government.
