Written By Sharon Mathew

In June, 2020 the Government of Delhi issued a notification revising hospital discharge policies, particularly for patients suffering from COVID-19. It bifurcates cases into three broad categories-

  • Mild/very mild/pre-symptomatic cases

  • Moderate cases admitted to Dedicated COVID Health Centre (Oxygen beds)

    • Patients whose symptoms resolve within 3 days and maintains saturation above 95% for the next 4 days

    • Patient on Oxygenation whose fever does not resolve within 3 days and demand of oxygen therapy continues

  • Severe Cases including immunocompromised (HIV patients, transplant recipients, malignancy)
