The Ministry of Health have released guidelines on how best to implement appropriate infection prevention and control measures for patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 within a Kenyan healthcare setting.
This post will cover current recommended IPC measures for:
Triage
Application of droplet precautions
Application of contact precautions
Application of airborne precautions when performing an aerosol generating proceedure
These guidelines are interim and will be updated from time-to-time by the Ministry of Health - we will reflect these updates here also.
Feel free to circulate amongst colleagues locally to share the knowledge.
