WQ.73/2020
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES
BY DEPUTY G.J. TRUSCOTT OF ST. BRELADE
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 25th FEBRUARY 2020
Question
Will the Minister advise what preparations have been made in his portfolio to deal with a positive diagnosis of Coronavirus in Jersey?
Answer
The Department has developed robust plans to manage patients with a confirmed diagnosis of coronavirus. We expect most patients to be able to be supported by self-isolation at the usual place of residence (home), but in some cases we may require hospitalisation and were this to occur we have clear plans in place to manage patients within the General Hospital in isolation beds.
