As part of our preparedness response to COVID-19, our Clinical Services Department has developed and shared the below series of SOPs, flowcharts and guidelines focused on the clinical management of suspected and confirmed COVID-19 cases. The documents cover critical aspects of patient management and transmission prevention, and may be particularly useful as part of an early-phase COVID-19 response.
Each document is available to download and was designed to serve as a flexible template, which can be easily adapted according to clinical setting and/or regional specifications.
