The home isolation package can be availed of by asymptomatic patients who tested positive for COVID-19 through RT-PCR test but with no signs of the disease; and patients who exhibit mild symptoms such as fever, cough, and sore throat, among others. However, PhilHealth clarified that mild cases do not exhibit symptoms of pneumonia and hypoxia – or low blood oxygen levels – as these are only manifested in more severe cases.
