@DrTedros Japan also followed China and well contains coronavirus, death toll 31. Other countries also, should learn from China rather than criticism. I really hope virus goes away in June and Olympics will be held in July.

"WHO advises that all confirmed #COVID19 cases, even mild cases, should be isolated in health facilities, to prevent transmission & provide adequate care. But we recognize that many countries have already exceeded their capacity to care for mild cases in dedicated 🏥"-@DrTedros

"In that situation, countries should prioritize older patients & those with underlying conditions. Some countries have expanded their capacity by using stadiums & gyms to care for mild #COVID19 cases, with severe & critical cases cared for in hospitals"-@DrTedros #coronavirus

"Another option is for patients with mild #COVID19 to be isolated & cared for at home. Caring for infected people at home may put others in the same household at risk, so it’s critical that care-givers follow WHO’s guidance on how to provide care as safely as possible"-@DrTedros

"For example, both the #COVID19 patient & their care-giver should wear a medical mask when they are together in the same room. The patient should sleep in a separate bedroom to others and use a different bathroom"-@DrTedros

"People infected with #COVID19 can still infect others after they stop feeling sick, so these measures should continue for at least 2 weeks after symptoms disappear. Visitors should not be allowed until the end of this period. There are more details in WHO’s guidance"-@DrTedros
