The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare issued a revised discharge policy for COVID-19 patients. The policy is aligned with the guidelines on the 3 tier COVID facilities and the categorization of the patients based on clinical severity. The policy states guidelines for:
 

1. Mild/very mild/pre-symptomatic cases admitted to COVID Care Facility and/or Dedicated COVID Health Centre
2. Moderate cases admitted to Dedicated COVID Health Centre (oxygen beds)
3. Patients whose symptoms resolve within 3 days and maintains oxygen saturation above 95% for the next 4 days
4. Patient on oxygenation whose fever does not resolve within 3 days and demand of oxygen therapy continues
5. Severe cases including immunocompromised conditions (HIV patients, transplant recipients, malignancy)
