The National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) keeps practitioners updated with information concerning COVID-19, ranging from frequently asked questions, providing technical resources and guidelines, information on prevention, and communication resources that can be utilised across settings.
Practitioners are advised to acquaint themselves with the latest NICD guidelines on COVID-19:
- Guidelines for symptoms monitoring and management of essential workers for COVID-19 related infection
- Guidelines for quarantine and isolation in relation to COVID-19 exposure and infection
- COVID-19: returning back to work
- Guidance on routine immunisation services
The NICD recommends consulting the World Health Organisation COVID-19 situation reports for daily updates of countries, territories or areas with reported laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases.
