CATEGORIES OF COVID-19
According to the Ministry of Health, there are 5 categories of COVID-19
infections:

CATEGORY 1 (CAT 1) Asymptomatic

CATEGORY 2 (CAT 2) Symptomatic without pneumonia.


This includes fever, nasal congestion, sore throat,
cough, lethargy, loss of smell or taste, vomiting,
and diarrhoea.

CATEGORY 3 (CAT 3) Symptomatic with pneumonia, not requiring


oxygen support.

CATEGORY 4 (CAT 4) Pneumonia requiring oxygen support.


May have “happy hypoxia” phenomenon.

CATEGORY 5 (CAT 5) Multiorgan failure.


May need ICU admission for ventilatory support,
dialysis etc.

*“HAPPY HYPOXIA” PHENOMENON: A condition where patients have blood


oxygen levels below 94%, but are not breathless.

REMARK: Disease progression from CAT 1 to 5 is possible, especially among


high-risk groups. Close monitoring is necessary. Refer to Warning Signs on
page 7.

COVID-19 - DELTA VARIANT


Genetic variants of SARS-CoV-2 have been emerging and circulating
around the world throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The Delta, a
name for B.1.617.2, is a highly contagious strain first identified in India
back in December 2020.

HAPPY HYPOXIA
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic
holds many mysteries. Among the
more baffling has been the
frequency of happy hypoxia – or the
proper medical term, silent hypoxia.

WHAT is hypoxia, exactly?


Hypoxia is defined as “a
decrease in the partial
pressure of oxygen in the
blood.”

PULSE OXIMETER AND


OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR

What is a pulse oximeter?


A pulse oximeter is an electronic
device that measures your oxygen
level and heart rate. This clip-on
monitor can be attached to your
fingertips or toes and uses beams of
light to detect blood oxygen saturation.

What is an
oxygen concentrator?
This medical device takes in air from
the atmosphere, filters out nitrogen
and then delivers pure medical-grade
oxygen to users. The process provides
a higher amount of oxygen needed for
oxygen therapy. This is suitable for
individuals who require supplemental
oxygen due to respiratory issues.

NOTE: You should not use an oxygen


concentrator at home unless it has
been prescribed by a health care
provider. Excessive oxygen can lead
to harmful effects.

Ways to keep healthy:

A good nutrition is crucial especially when the immune system might need to
fight back. Tips to stay healthy through food:
• Limit salt, sugar, and fat intake.
• Stay well hydrated by drinking water instead of sugar-sweetened beverages.
• Avoid drinking large amounts of strong coffee or tea, and especially
caffeinated soft drinks and energy drinks. These may lead to dehydration
and can negatively impact your sleeping patterns.
• Avoid alcohol or reduce your alcohol consumption. Alcohol affects your
mental state, thus making you more vulnerable to falls or injuries. It is also
known to increase symptoms of depression, anxiety, and fear, which can
intensify during isolation and self-quarantine.

For optimal health, it is also important to remain physically active. Here are
some tips and examples of home-based exercises that require no special
equipment and can be done with limited space:

GENERAL COPING TIPS DURING ISOLATION


OR QUARANTINE (CONT’D)
Ways to keep healthy (Cont’d):

Along with the physical health effects of COVID-19, home isolation or


quarantine can take a toll on our mental health. Here are a few pointers that
can help you:

Reframe “I am stuck inside” to “I can finally focus on my


home and myself”.
This is your chance to slow down and focus on yourself. Set your
sights on long-avoided tasks, reorganise, or create something
you’ve always wanted to.

Avoid obsessing over endless COVID-19 coverage.


Don’t over-research the pandemic. Access only credible websites
(moh.gov.my, jkjav twitter, who.int, cdc.gov) for a limited amount of
time each day.

A chaotic home can lead to a chaotic mind.


With all the uncertainty happening outside your home, keep the
inside organised and clean. For example, try not to eat in bed or
work on the sofa- just as before, eat at a table and work at your desk.

Talk to family and friends.


It is good to have people to talk to, even through video calls,
especially when you are cooped up alone in a house or room. This
would lessen the feeling of loneliness and help curb anxiety.

TIPS TO IMPROVE BREATHING


Whether you are a current COVID-19 patient or in the process of
recovering, these breathing exercises will improve lung capacity
and restore diaphragm function. These series of exercises can be
done at home as a daily routine to aid in recovery:

STOMACH BREATHING (PRONE POSITION)


In the prone position, more space is created for the
lungs to expand, thereby increasing oxygenation.
STEP 1. Begin by finding a comfortable flat surface
such as a bed or a couch.
STEP 2. Lay flat on your stomach with your head
resting on your hands.
STEP 3. Simply breathe in and out for 10 minutes,
focusing on taking slightly deeper breaths
than normal.

DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING (BELLY BREATHING)


The goal of this exercise is to slow your breathing
rate and decrease your oxygen demand. You can do
this exercise while sitting or lying down.
STEP 1. Relax your face, jaw, and shoulder muscles.
STEP 2. Rest the tip of your tongue behind your top
front teeth.
STEP 3. Straighten your back and close your eyes.
STEP 4. Place one hand on your chest and the other
on your stomach, below your ribcage.
STEP 5. Breathe in deeply through your nose,
feeling the chest and rib expand. Your
stomach should expand outward against
your hand.
STEP 6. Focus on tightening your stomach muscles
then let them fall inward as you exhale.
STEP 7. Breathe slowly and deeply in this manner 9
to 10 times.
14

TIPS TO IMPROVE BREATHING


PURSED LIP BREATHING
This method of breathing gets more oxygen into your
lungs than regular breathing can. It keeps your
airways open longer by reducing the number of
breaths you take per minute:
STEP 1. Relax in a seated position with your neck
and shoulder muscles unclenched.
STEP 2. Inhale slowly through your nose for 3-4
seconds with your mouth closed (Nostrils
warm and humidity the air before it reaches
the lungs – breathing in through your mouth
does not accomplish this).
STEP 3. Purse your lips as if you were going to
whistle, then slowly exhale through your
pursed lips.
STEP 4. Try to exhale for a longer number of counts
than you inhaled.
STEP 5. Repeat several times.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Always consult a doctor to ensure your physical limitations aren’t pushed to
the extreme.

TIPS FOR CAREGIVERS


Caring for a COVID-19 patient at home
If you are caring for someone with COVID-19 at home or in a non-healthcare
setting, follow this advice to protect yourself and others.
This information should also be followed when caring for people who do not have
symptoms.

NOTE: Older adults and people of any age with serious underlying medical conditions are at higher risk
for developing more severe illness from COVID-19. People at higher risk of severe illness should call
their doctor as soon as symptoms develop.

• If the patient is independent, avoid any physical


contact with the patient.
• Help them with their meals, groceries, filling
prescriptions, and getting other essentials. Consider
having the items delivered through a delivery service,
if possible.
• If the patient is elderly or dependent, always maintain
a strict SOP when handling them.
• Ensure that both you and the patient are wearing a
disposable 3-ply mask. Do not touch the outer layer
of the mask or your face and discard the mask
immediately after tending to the patient.
• Frequently clean hands with soap and water or a
hand sanitiser.
• Disinfect surfaces.
• Clean their utensils with warm water and soap. Dry
them separately.
• Watch for warning signs (refer to page 8).
• Take care of their pet(s), and limit contact between
the person who is sick and their pet(s) when possible.

Call a doctor if the person keeps getting sicker. For medical emergencies,

TIPS FOR CAREGIVERS (CONT’D)


Caring for yourself
Caregiver should practise self-care to avoid burnout.
• Delegate a few caregiving responsibilities to allow some time for yourself.
• Maintain your regular routine of healthy eating, sleeping and exercising.
• Keep in touch with your social circle, be it extended family members, friends,
or colleagues. This can be done safely through phone calls or social media apps.

Protect yourself
• Masks are recommended for people with COVID-19 at home and to protect

health through things like exercise, dietary changes, and
quitting smoking
• Pulmonary rehabilitation – This includes breathing exercises to
help strengthen your lungs.
• Physical and occupational therapy – This involves learning
exercises, movements, and ways of doing everyday tasks.
• Treatments for anxiety or depression – This can involve
medicine and/or counselling.

When to seek immediate


medical attention?
• Chest pain that is sudden or severe,
which may be accompanied by
shortness of breath, nausea,
vomiting, sweating or loss of
consciousness.
• Sudden or worsening shortness of
breath.
After discharge, you will be given an
appointment with your doctor. During your
follow-up, it is important that you inform
your doctor of any symptoms.

death. It also contributes to community protection, reducing the
likelihood of virus transmission.

Symptoms which occur post COVID-19 vaccination is due to your immune


system building its protection towards the virus.
