The Ministry of Health says that a service has been launched to provide medical advice to Covid patients receiving treatment at home by calling 1390.

The Ministry of Health states that Covid patients receiving treatment at home in the Western Province can obtain medical advice through that telephone number only after registering for it.

The registration can be obtained by giving a telephone call to the Medical Officer of Health and the Public Health Inspector of the area, the Ministry said.

The Ministry of Health states that a patient receiving treatment at home should not be over 65 years of age and should not be suffering from chronic diseases or other complications.
