However, as a precaution, individuals from both groups, will be assigned to a healthcare provider and should monitor their health closely, including their oxygen level, during the isolation period, said MOH.
As for those aged between one and four, MOH said it will extend the home recovery to them provided that they are first clinically assessed at the hospitals to be suitable for home recovery. Since the start of the home recovery programme, more than 19,000 patients have been recovering at home, of which more than 8,000 have fully recovered and been discharged.
