About this study
Official title: The Validity of Modern Mobile Applications in Management of COVID-19 Home Isolation Patients: a Randomized Survey for Health Care Professionals
In late 2019, a novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, was identified as the causative agent of a cluster of pneumonia cases (COVID-19) in Wuhan, China. Clinical symptoms of COVID-19 may be mild or severe. The location where a person will self-isolate will be determined by their healthcare provider and their health authority. When determining the location, several factors to determine the suitability of the home setting are described as the case should stay in a room of their own so that they can be isolated from other household members. The rapid increase and evolution of modern mobile applications for communication and messaging for personal purposes have proved great benefit in healthcare management
