In our country, the COVID-19 epidemic is still spreading, and the number of new cases in a single day has nearly exceeded 20,000 confirmed cases. However, most of the confirmed patients are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic.
For example, there were 19,090 new confirmed cases on February 10, but 99.41% of the patients belonged to the first and second levels, and the third level accounted for 0.41%, the fourth level accounted for 0.15%, and the fifth level accounted for 0.03% %.
The Ministry of Health has previously announced that only patients with a severity level 2B or higher will be required to visit the COVID-19 Assessment Centre (CAC) or a nearby hospital for additional testing, according to the Ministry of Health.
Patients in level 1 and 2A do not need to visit the COVID-19 Assessment Centre (CAC), if they are under the age of 60 and do not have any chronic diseases; instead, they must complete home quarantine using the Health Assessment Tool (HAT) in the mobile app MySejahtera.
The Ministry of Health divides the severity of COVID-19 into 5 levels, which are:
- Grade 1: Asymptomatic,
- Grade 2: Mild,
- Grade 3: Pneumonia,
- Grade 4: Requires breathing assistance,
- Grade 5: Requires intubation.
Level 2 is subdivided into 2A and 2B, with 2A for mild symptoms and 2B for moderate symptoms.
