Colombo, May 16 (newsin.asia) – Primary Health Care, Epidemics and COVID Disease Control State Minister Dr Sudarshani Fernandopulle said that necessary arrangements have been made to monitor and treat asymptomatic COVID-19 patients at their homes from Monday (17).
“If any of the asymptomatic patients suffer from any complications, they will be hospitalized for treatment” Minister Dr Sudarshani said. However, “steps would be taken to admit them to hospitals if they come up with complications”, she added.
