The principle of classifying patients according to disease severity is based on the guidance by the Ministry of Health in Decision No. 3416/QD-BYT dated July 14, 2021, on guidance, diagnosis and treatment of Covid-19. Accordingly, 80% of patients have no symptoms; about 20% of moderate, severe and critical patients; 5% of patients require intensive care. Therefore, with the case of 40,000 Covid-19 patients, there will be 8,000 patients with moderate and severe symptoms (6,000 moderate ones, 2,000 severe and critical ones).
On the basis of classifying patients according to the severity of the disease, facilities for collection and treatment will be divided as follows: Facilities for collection and treatment of moderate patients; facilities for collection and treatment of severe and critical patients requiring intensive care treatment; facilities to collect and treat asymptomatic and mild Covid-19 patients (with separate options).
The dispatch of Covid-19 patients to the collection and treatment facilities from time to time is based on the patient’s clinical progress at the facilities assigned to collect and treat them.
