Home Management of Adult Egyptian Mild COVID-19 Cases

Keeping in mind the rising number of cases in Egypt and the strain they put on hospital infrastructure, the idea of home isolation and follow up for COVID 19 positive cases has been adopted in many countries and was approved by World Health Organization (WHO) and Egyptian Ministry of health (MOH). Telehealth can help to mitigate this risk by minimizing the amount of face-to-face interactions. The WHO mentioned telemedicine among essential services in "strengthening the Health Systems Response to COVID-19" policy. The aim in this study is to study the effectiveness of telemedicine in managing mild COVID cases regarding isolation measures, symptoms, medications adherence, and reporting of red flags and side effects.
