A list of all things that patients can bring with them during treatment at a temporary hospital will be posted on covid19.com.

The main purpose of this, as well as other temporary hospitals opening in the country, is to isolate patients who have mild illnesses and are positive for the virus so that the disease does not spread further, but also to be under constant medical supervision.

Up till now, such patients have been sent to home isolation, and by placing them in a temporary hospital, they are protecting their families.

On the other hand, mass testing of people suspected of COVID-19 has been announced and it is expected that a large number of infected persons will be
detected in this way.

Treatment of patients with milder symptoms is expected to last between 14 and 28 days.
