The Ministry of Health on Monday night clarified a guideline for quarantining Covid-19 patients that has caused confusion saying they can only leave their room and not home.

 

One of the guidelines it had issued earlier that day for managing treatment at home said "Covid patients can leave their quarantine," but have to wear masks and ensure social distance to prevent infection.
