Care is the same. We wouldn’t be able to isolate the infected person in the hospitel field hospital as before. If the house can be separated, stay home and treat the symptoms. Antiviral drugs will be used in people with severe symptoms, such as high fever or at risk groups. Those with good health, few symptoms, symptomatic treatment is sufficient.
