ABSTRACT
Proper management of the Corona pandemic is one of the most critical issues causing a serious crisis for the health care system in all countries. This management includes the prevention, treatment and control of complications. Due to the large number of cases in the recent pandemic and the limited health facilities in the hospitals, the use of more costeffective solutions, especially home care and the use of telemedicine in the management of coronavirus is increasing day by day. Candidates for home treatment must meet certain requirements, including the stability in the patient's general condition, the possibility of care taking at home by other family members or health care staff, access to personal protective equipment (at least gloves and masks), and not having people with heart, lung or kidney disease among the people living at home. It is also necessary to monitor the person's symptoms regularly. If the patient's symptoms worsen, especially in cases of shortness of breath, worsening of the coughs, decreased level of consciousness or fever for more than 5 days, there is a need to contact the medical system. Providing home care treatment solutions can be considered as a part of Transformation There is still a lot unknown about how to manage the Covid 19 patients and information in this field is rapidly increasing.
ABSTRACT
The role of airborne particles in the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is well explored. The novel coronavirus can survive in aerosol for extended periods, and its interaction with other viral communities can cause additional virulence and infectivity. This baseline study reports concentrations of SARS-CoV-2, other respiratory viruses, and pathogenic bacteria in the indoor air from three major hospitals (Sheikh Jaber, Mubarak Al-Kabeer, and Al-Amiri) in Kuwait dealing with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. The indoor aerosol samples showed 12-99 copies of SARS-CoV-2 per m3 of air. Two non-SARS-coronavirus (strain HKU1 and NL63), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and human bocavirus, human rhinoviruses, Influenza B (FluB), and human enteroviruses were also detected in COVID-positive areas of Mubarak Al Kabeer hospital (MKH). Pathogenic bacteria such as Mycoplasma pneumonia, Streptococcus pneumonia and, Haemophilus influenza were also found in the hospital aerosols. Our results suggest that the existing interventions such as social distancing, use of masks, hand hygiene, surface sanitization, and avoidance of crowded indoor spaces are adequate to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in enclosed areas. However, increased ventilation can significantly reduce the concentration of SARS-CoV-2 in indoor aerosols. The synergistic or inhibitory effects of other respiratory pathogens in the spread, severity, and complexity of SARS-CoV-2 need further investigation.
