Government Releases Post-COVID-19 Management Protocol

As the number of COVID-19 recoveries increase, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare released a post COVID-19 management protocol that enlists steps recovered patients should follow. The Ministry is promoting the consumption of a list of AYUSH medicines but only if they have been prescribed by a medical practitioner. 

People isolated at home are required to continue wearing masks, do moderate exercise and yoga, get adequate sleep and rest, keep monitoring their temperature, pressure and oxygen levels. People who were admitted should follow up with the health facility a week after being discharged. 

Through the doctor's recommendation, they should then choose either a medical or an AYUSH practitioner for further recommendations. Poly-therapy should be avoided as they can lead to adverse reactions
