India revises COVID-19 clinical management guidelines for adult patients

The Covid National Task Force under the Union Ministry of Health and Welfare, Government of India, released its revised clinical guidelines for Covid -19 management in adult patients amid rising Omicron cases. The new guidelines suggest that mild cases of infections must be home-isolated whereas severe patients are to be admitted in the intensive care unit (ICU). For mild cases, the task force has also suggested home isolation with physical distancing, indoor mask use, and strict hand hygiene. The guidelines have also pointed out that checking oxygen saturation is important to understand the severity of infection and that one should seek medical attention if there is difficulty in breathing or oxygen saturation drops below 93, or high grade fever/severe cough, particularly if lasting for more than 5 days.
