New protocol - Covid-19 patients to be discharged after 14 days, even if test positive

Following the latest information from the World Health Organisation (WHO), Malaysia will change its Covid-19 treatment protocol and discharge patients after 14 days even if they test positive for the virus.

Patients will then be advised to undergo home quarantine for 14 days.

The reason for this new protocol is as patients’ infectivity levels have been found to plunge to zero after two weeks, Health Ministry director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said today.   

“According to a WHO report, those who have been infected for more than 14 days will have zero infectivity.


“Therefore, based on this new information, we can discharge patients after 14 days even if they test positive using an RT-PCR test.

“This is the new action we will take based on the latest information. We will change our protocol with regards to positive patients,” he said during his daily briefing this evening.

He added that a positive RT-PCR test result after 14 days was possibly due to the detection of “dead virus” or a “fragment of the virus RNA”.

“The test will show a weak positive. A weak positive means a patient can’t infect others anymore. And their infectivity level has dropped to almost zero,” he explained.

For the record, the RT-PCR test detects the presence of the virus through the presence of certain genetic markers thought to be unique to the virus. It is incapable of determining whether the viral particle is still intact and infectious.

Presently, Malaysia discharges Covid-19 patients after they test negative once using RT-PCR no matter how long they have been in treatment.


A hydroxychloroquine pill
As for WHO’s decision to pause trials into using hydroxychloroquine to treat Covid-19, Noor Hisham said Malaysia will continue administering the anti-malaria drug with caution.

Doctors will continue to monitor patients for side effects which include irregular heartbeats, headaches, blurred vision, muscle tenderness and gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhoea.

“We will still use it but carefully,” he said, adding that such treatment would be stopped once side effects are detected.

Previously, the top official said the hydroxychloroquine had helped prevent asymptomatic Covid-19 patients and patients with mild symptoms from worsening due to its anti-inflammatory effect of the lungs.

The WHO previously cautioned against using the drug to treat Covid-19 but still included it as one of the four treatments being tested under its global Solidarity Trial programme.

This week, the body suspended testing hydroxychloroquine following research that associated its use to lower instances of survival.

Rasanya terpakai utk yg kes asymptomatic n mild... Takkan la dorang nak discharge yg masih terbaring or tercungap2 nak bernafas kan...

Iol rasa intention dia solution yg most effective.

Uol letak orang sampai 40 hari dalam hospital sampai bebetul negatif. Masalahnya hospital akan penuh. Kita kes aktif rendah ok lah. Kalau yang beratus ribu kes tu xke naya.

Then ada yg boleh diselamatkan jadi hilang nyawa sebab kes macam ni.

Tu belum lg yg kena bayar bil hospital. Kalau 40 hari n sehari charge 200 dah 8000 nak cari duit lak.

Sebab who monitor n advise globally kan. Bukan semua negara subsidize medical mcm kita.

Kalau dia jenis ikut arahan..kalau jenis xfaham..merayau sana sini cmne lak

Ada dgr DG punya PC semalam, data menunjukkan kebolehjangkitan ncov-2 lepas 14 hari adalah 0% walaupun masih positif. Ya KOSONG percent. Mungkin virus strain yang baru ni dah diluted. Lagi banyak dia mutate, lagi kurang bahaya virus ni, contrary apa yg org percaya selama ni. InsyaAllah semoga data yang didapati tu tepat.
