Isolation in a hospital or other care unit in connection with Covid-19
When caring for patients with suspected or confirmed covid-19, there is a need to prevent further spread of infection. We can do this through infectious isolation or cohort care.
Isolation in a hospital or other care unit in connection with Covid-19
Isolation shall not be recorded as a measure in the case of social or humanitarian isolation.
Isolation means care room with a patient with a closed door and with consistent application of basic hygiene procedures.
Cohort care means that once cohort-19 infection has been confirmed in several patients, a cohort creates. This means that several patients with the same disease can share care rooms, hygiene space and staff. I.e. isolating the cohort in relation to other patients.
Registration of action (KVÅ)

VTS
We recommend that cohort care be equated with infectious isolation when calculating VTS.
