A person is considered “suspected” COVID-19 carrier if he\/she suffers from fever, cough, or sore throat two weeks after contact with a confirmed case, or had visited a place with local transmission of the coronavirus.<\/p>\n
Those who exhibit the same symptoms and belong to the vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, those with preexisting ailments, pregnant women, and health-care workers also belong to this group.<\/p>\n
The QPIO report also recorded one case \u201cprobable\u201d to have COVID-19. A patient becomes a \u201cprobable\u201d case if the lab test results are inconclusive or have yet to be released.<\/p>\n
