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.
