A Day in The Health Visiting Team

Abstract

With the outbreak of SARS, the Government attempted to isolate those of close contact of SARS to prevent spread in the community. Four isolation camps and four Designated Medical Centers were set up. On March 27, all household contacts were being home confined for ten days by law from the last day of contact with their sick household members. I was assigned to the Visiting Health Team and to visit the householders during the confinement period.

 

Key words: Health visiting team, Home confinement, SARS
