These patients have made a full recovery from the illness, and they are no longer contagious as they no longer suffer from fever, cough and shortness of breath.

The hospitals used their specialised vehicles to carry the recovered people home. The close monitoring of these patients will be put in place during their 14-day self- quarantine period at their places of residence following the Health Ministry’s guidelines after patients are back in their own home.
