Covid patients are separated and isolated from the non-covid patients via a SPECIFIC COVID-19 PATHWAY, starting from the Isolation area of the Emergency Department and all the way to the dedicated Covid-19 ward. The pathway that has been used will then be closed for terminal cleaning.

Any visitor who shows flu-like symptoms will immediately be transferred to the Emergency Department for further assessment. Covid or suspected Covid cases are not treated in general outpatient areas.

Patients will be managed base on MOH guidelines to ensure the safety of patients, and all occupants in the hospital are maintained at all times.
