2. Stopping of COVID-19 isolation and IPC measures if patient staying in hospital
After 14 days following a positive SARS-CoV-2 test, IPC measures for hospitalised COVID-19 patients can be stopped if there is:

• clinical improvement with at least some respiratory recovery
  
• absence of fever (> 37.8°C) for 48 hours
  
• no underlying severe immunosuppression

If testing for viral clearance is available, it should focus on:

• the severely immunocompromised patients to support the optimal use of side rooms, or where side rooms are not available
  
• any testing that optimises patient flow through the hospital, such as:
  
  
• long-stay patients who are unable to otherwise be discharged
  
• those being discharged to a household where an extremely vulnerable person is being shielded

3. Discharge of patients to own home
This can be done when the patient’s clinical status is appropriate for discharge, for example, once assessed to have stable or recovering respiratory function, and any ongoing care needs can be met at home. They should be given clear safety-netting advice for what to do if their symptoms worsen.

Discharged patients should follow the Stay at Home guidance for households with COVID-19 patients:

• if they required critical care or they are severely immunocompromised, they should complete their self-isolation until 14 days from their first positive test
  
• patients who did not require critical care and are not immunosuppressed should complete their self-isolation until 7 days from their first positive test

For all discharged patients, self-isolation at home should continue until their fever has resolved for 48 hours consecutively without medication to reduce their fever (unless otherwise instructed by their acute care provider – for example, another reason for persistent fever exists).

Cough may persist in some individuals, and persistent cough is not an indication of ongoing infection when other symptoms have resolved.

quote:

6.3 Removal from Isolation
Patients may be considered for removal from isolation if:
- Patient has already been at home or in isolation for 7 days since onset of symptoms.
- Patient has been afebrile for 48 hours
- Patients symptoms are resolving or resolved (excluding cough)
- Patient has had two negative COVID-19 PCR combined throat/nose swab results 24 hours apart with the first repeat sample at least 7 days after the first positive test.

quote:

If there is a high clinical suspicion of COVID-19, and negative initial tests, repeat sampling is required. Deep respiratory samples (sputum/tracheal aspirate) have a higher sensitivity than nose/throat swabs, so if a patient has a productive cough then sputum should also be sent for COVID-19 testing. Under no circumstances should an induced sputum be performed.

The real secret to shaving your head is to just use a razor. Then you don't have to worry about straight lines or fades, and you can tell if you've missed a spot by just running your hand over your head.

Where is the original of that from, anyway? I like to think it was a "MS paint the worst possible way you could wipe your arse" GBS thread

in defense of portable AC, there are a lot of renters in converted and terrible old housing stock. you're never, ever going to keep an old Edwardian brick mass like mine truly cold, a portable AC can keep your little pocket tolerable.

setting up a fan to blow out the heat at night and strategically closing windows to keep it cool longer is also very pro.

the sheer sickening fawning over our poor stricken prime minister are pushing me into actively hoping he dies because gently caress him and gently caress all of them.

his pals in the lobby are all insisting that we ought to be wishing him well as the top of the news agenda (while they bury casualty figures for his fuckups), but he is pretty much the only person who is ill directly because of his own decisions. Those decisions have or will also put potentially hundreds of thousands of other people into similar positions, and the news is acting like I should personally be wishing him a speedy recovery.

he's just a man, he has no special powers, he was loving this up really badly before ending up quadraspazzed on the life glug and I'm supposed to care about him getting better and back to work more than the other ordinary people who are dead or dying or horribly ill with this disease?

nah

plus it would be an amazing arc from gobshite Brussels reporter to suicide by pandemic and that will be much more interesting in the history books

Does "mentally able to make decisions" imply "not physically able to make decisions" I wonder?

It's weird that out of the whole population they're most concerned about the people who wash their hands at least 5 times a day, cover their face, and avoid pubs.

If what I saw when I went shopping today is any indication of a wider trend we can look forward to the lockdown getting stricter soon given the amount of people having big barbecues or family meet ups this weekend.
