Been along in hospital wth covid patient
Hi
One of my relatives got admitted to hospital for covid treatment as he has breathing issues and fever. My cousin have to be with him in the hospital room to monitor his condition during night. (As the hospital staff is not taking the whole responsibility to monitor the patient). It's been 2-3 days. My cousin is now feeling cold, light shortness of breath. Spo2 is 99. Please suggest if he has to isolate from there and start medications from home or to be admitted in the hospital?? As he is there since 2 days, will there be chances of getting more infection?
