Screening Protocols

Upon entering the hospital all visitorsfirst stop at a help desk where they are made to sanitize their hands to protect themselves and others and provided masks to cover their faces. After the first round of screening, the patients are directed to the thermal screening room. In the first room,the patients’ temperature is recorded via an infrared thermometer after which a doctor screens them. If theypresent no symptoms, they are given access to the general OPD area. However, those suspected to have COVID-19 or flu-related symptoms are taken to a separate area and then directed to the nearest designated yellow hospitals.
