Superintendence of Public Health St Luke’s Square, Gwardamanga PTA1010, Malta t COVID-19 helpline 111 e covid19.followup@gov.mt Guidelines for confirmed cases of COVID-19 If you have tested positive for COVID-19, you must self-isolate and keep apart from other household members as much as possible. It is important to use a separate bedroom and, as far as possible, a separate bathroom. Should this not be possible, you should always use the bathroom after others rather than before and ensure that you clean/disinfect it after use. If the kitchen is shared, it is recommended that you do not use it and that any food / meals are left for you by your door. It is recommended that your bed linen and laundry are placed in a separate garbage bag prior to being washed and left to stand for 72 hours before washing. Wash on a normal cycle in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, if possible, using the warmest appropriate water setting for the items. All garbage (including garbage for recycling) should be put in double bags, and ideally disposed of less frequently than would normally be done. If you live in an apartment block, please try to choose a time for taking out your garbage when meeting your neighbours is least likely. Commonly used and touched surfaces such as door handles, toilets, cupboard and fridge doors and other surfaces should be cleaned regularly using disinfectants with a minimum of 70% alcohol, or products containing sodium hypochlorite like domestic bleach (20ml of bleach in 1L of water). Other surfaces can be cleaned with soap and water. General precautions to be taken by the POSITIVE case to prevent the spread of potential infection • Isolate yourself in your own room. • Make sure that the room is adequately ventilated, keep windows open as much as possible. • Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, and if not available, use alcohol-based hand disinfectant regularly. • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or inner side of flexed elbow when coughing or sneezing. • DO NOT sneeze or cough into your hands as you may contaminate objects or people that you touch. • Dispose of used tissues immediately in bins; DO NOT leave tissues running around. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth before washing your hands. • Keep a distance of at least 2 metre when talking to other persons.

It is important that all persons residing at this address should check their temperature twice daily and selfmonitor for any symptoms. If any other household member develops any symptoms, they should immediately call 111 to be given an appointment to get tested. Please remember to inform the operator that you are in mandatory quarantine as you are a contact of a positive confirmed case of COVID-19. Testing for COVID-19 Positive cases and persons on mandatory quarantine are only allowed to leave the house/residence if instructed by the Public Health Authorities to attend a given appointment at one of the Coronavirus Testing Centres, or if their condition is such that they need medical care, in which case you must first contact your doctor or hospital for advice. Medical Care If at any time your symptoms get worse, you should immediately call on 21231231 or 21222444 to be assessed over the phone.

Superintendence of Public Health St Luke’s Square, Gwardamanga PTA1010, Malta t COVID-19 helpline 111 e covid19.followup@gov.mt Linji gwida għal każijiet ikkonfermati ta' COVID-19 Jekk ittestjajt pożittiv għal COVID-19, int għandek tiżola ruħek u żżomm ‘il bogħod minn membri oħra tad-dar kemm jista' jkun. Huwa importanti li tuża kamra tas-sodda separata u, kemm jista' jkun, kamra tal-banju separata. Jekk dan ma jkunx possibbli, għandek dejjem tuża l-kamra tal-banju wara oħrajn minflok qabilhom u tiżgura li tnaddaf / tiddiżinfettaha wara lużu. Jekk il-kċina hija użata minn oħrajn, huwa rrakkomandat li ma tużahiex u li kwalunkwe ikel / ikliet jitħalla għalik wara l-bieb tiegħek. Huwa rrakkomandat li l-friex tas-sodda u l-ħasil tiegħek jitpoġġew f'borża taż-żibel separata qabel ma jinħaslu u jitħallew joqgħodu għal 72 siegħa qabel ma jinħaslu. Aħsel fuq ċiklu normali skond l-istruzzjonijiet tal-manifattur, jekk possibbli, billi tuża l-iktar ilma sħun xieraq għall-oġġetti. Iż-żibel kollu (inkluż iż-żibel għar-riċiklaġġ) għandu jitpoġġa f'boroż doppji, u idealment jintrema inqas ta' spiss milli normalment isir. Jekk inti tgħix fi blokka ta' appartamenti, jekk jogħġbok ipprova agħżel ħin biex toħroġ iż-żibel tiegħek meta iċ-ċans li tiltaqa' mal-ġirien tiegħek huwa l-inqas probabbli. Uċuħ ta’ mwejjed u ta’ oġġetti oħra li jintużaw u jintmessu komunement bħal manki talbibien, toilets, armarji u bibien tal-friġġ u uċuħ oħra għandhom jitnaddfu regolarment billi jintużaw diżinfettanti b’minimu ta’ 70% alkoħol, jew prodotti li fihom sodium hypochlorite bħal bliċ domestiku (20ml ta’ bliċ f’kull 1L ta’ ilma). Uċuħ oħra jistgħu jitnaddfu bis-sapun u bl-ilma. Prekawzjonijiet ġenerali li għandhom jittieħdu mill-każ POŻITTIV biex tiġi evitata t-tixrid ta' infezzjoni potenzjali • Iżola ruħek fil-kamra tiegħek stess. • Assigura illi l-kamra hija ventilata b'mod adegwat, żomm it-twieqi miftuħin kemm jista' jkun. • Aħsel idejk ta’ spiss bis-sapun u bl-ilma għal mill-inqas 20 sekonda, u jekk dan mhux disponibbli, uża diżinfettant tal-idejn ibbażat fuq l-alkoħol regolarment. • Għatti mnieħrek u ħalqek b’tissue jew bin-naħa ta' ġewwa tal-minkeb mgħawweġ meta tisgħol jew tgħatas. • TGĦATASX JEW TISGĦOLX F'IDEJK għax tista' tikkontamina oġġetti jew persuni li tmiss. • Armi t-tissues użati immedjatament fid-dustbin; TĦALLIX tissues jiġru. • Evita li tmiss għajnejk, imnieħrek u ħalqek qabel taħsel idejk. • Żomm distanza ta' mill-inqas 2 metri meta titkellem ma' persuni oħra.
