Home Quarantine Care Guidelines for COVID-19

To empower bottom-up capacity-building to care for suspected or mild COVID-19 patients at home, GX has published several home quarantine guidelines. This February 2022 guideline is targeted for multi-cultural, high-density, urbanised, Asian contexts such as Hong Kong.

This particular guideline is tailored for interim arrangement for living arrangements, caregiver protection, cleaning instructions and when to seek medical care, which are in line with current recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Hong Kong government.

It is a follow-up to the "8 Facts About Covid Poster series" developed in 2020 as part of the GX COVID-19 Community Health Knowledge series, which will be updated in 2022 to include facts about variants, vaccination and post-COVID syndrome.
