5.1.5 The General Hospital Roles:
The general hospital is considered the top-level in this approach and
can supervise multiple local clinics at once. As the last resort, it
should have the best available specialist doctors and medical equipment
for COVID-19 treatment and containment. When an infected case cannot be
handled by a local clinic it is transferred to the general hospital for
further verification. The decision is made by specialist doctors based
on the patient’s database, current case, and available solutions to
handle the case, e.g. advising the patient to be quarantined at home via
a video call or sending an ambulance in case of real emergency for the
treatment and quarantine at the hospital. The general hospital also
performs contact tracing with keeping the privacy of the patient.
