Triage for Covid-19 Positives/ Suspected

  • Dry Cough?
  • Shortness of breath?
  • Fever >37.9C?
  • Pneumonia suspected or already diagnosed (imaging positive)?
  • or other clinical suspicion of Covid-19

FLOW CHART IS A GUIDELINE ONLY

Aims:

  1. Identify suspected Covid-19 patients who do not require hospital admission.
  2. Start intensive therapy pathways for those with respiratory insufficiency.
SpO2 >94% on RA
If COPD with chronic hypoxia >90% on RA
SpO2 90-94% on RA
If COPD with chronic hypoxia 86-90% on RA
SpO2 <90% on RA
If COPD with chronic hypoxia <86% on RA
