If infected, the patient will be hospitalized and not quarantined, which will undergo treatments [maybe by ACE cocktails] and may last for at least a month or longer or shorter if death occurs. So, if Thiago is infected [positive] then it may be longer than 14 days for him to stay away. The strain in Europe is deadlier than the strain found in Malaysia and Singapore, quite worrisome for fans to know that  |
I think different countries have different SOPs for dealing with those infected by the Covid19 virus.
Here in Singapore..... being tested positive for Covid19 does not mean hospitalisation. They will only send you to hospital if you belong to the high risk group (peeps with pre-existing medical conditions) or in the elderly age group (60 & above). My neighbour who is 57 was turned away by a hospital and the doctor scold him " you are only 57 you are not old.".... and redirected the nurses to send him to the quarantine centre instead.
Covid19 positive cases are sent to quarantine centres with other confirmed cases and do nothing there but wait for their own immune system to deal with the virus. Only when they develop serious symptoms then they are brought to the NCID for treatment.
My company employs more than 600 Banglas / Ah Nehs and more than 50% of them tested positive for Covid19 during the CB. We were surprised when all of them were sent to the quarantine centres in Expo instead of brought to the hospitals. Nothing to do there but eat sleep & play smartphone..... with no medication given.
Testing done everyday and they will be discharged upon getting a negative test result. So Covid19 is not as scary for normal healthy folks...... only becomes dangerous to the vulnerable high risk groups.
Thiago will recover easily as he is a fit young man.
