Brief Summary:
Keeping in mind the rising number of cases in Egypt and the strain they put on hospital infrastructure the idea of home isolation and follow up for COVID 19 positive cases has been adopted in many countries and was approved by World Health Organization WHO and Egyptian Ministry of health MOH
Telehealth can help to mitigate this risk by minimizing the amount of face-to-face interactions The WHO mentioned telemedicine among essential services in strengthening the Health Systems Response to COVID-19 policy The aim in this study is to study the effectiveness of telemedicine in managing mild COVID cases regarding isolation measures symptoms medications adherence and reporting of red flags and side effects

Detailed Description:
Objectives
To assess the effectiveness of follow up of mild COVID-19 cases in home isolation
To assess the applicability of telemedicine tools in the follow up of those patients and early identification of warning symptoms needing more intensive management measures
To assess the clinical characteristics for mild COVID-19 cases and post covid sequelae and the course of symptoms
To assess the persistence of symptoms during follow up
To assess the quality of life during home management period
To assess cost-effectivenes of home isolation vs hospital admission in mild COVID-19 cases
Study population Sample size
The study includes 400 Adult 18-65 years Egyptian patients with mild COVID 19 diagnosed by PCR consented oral consent to home isolation to follow them
Study Design
Prospective observational study
Methods
All patients will be subjected to thorough history and clinical examination 400 adult mild COVID cases consented to home isolation to follow them by phone calls whats app hot line for emergency Triage sheet zoom meetings
Patients will be given brochures about home isolation by Egyptian MOH list of medications plan of follow up
1 Daily follow up for fever chart report any new symptoms or progression of previously present symptom or presence of red flags
2 Blood samples will be obtained and CT chest will be done according to the usual protocol
3 Patients will be followed for 3 months to detect post covid sequelae and the course of symptoms and the persistence of any symptoms
4 Questionnaire will be done to assess the patients commitment to the advices and regulations of home isolation as well as forms to assess fatigue and the quality of life 36-Item Short Form Survey SF-36
