All patients’ clinical status is appropriate for discharge, and assessed to have stable and recovering respiratory function.

All four people were given the all-clear following three negative tests for the virus, 24 hours apart, making a full recovery following their treatment. They are no longer contagious and pose no risk to the public.

The hospital used a  special vehicle to bring the recoveries home. After discharge, the recoveries will undergo a-14 day self- isolation at home under close monitoring of local authorities and health workers at their places of residence in line with the Ministry of Health’s regulations.
