The Minister of Health also informed on the introduction of BruHealth application's new features which will commence on the 25th of March 2022 at 10 in the evening.
Yang Berhormat said that the update of the Health Protocol for those who tested positive for COVID-19 is to make it easier for the public to follow the Health Protocol for COVID-19 cases. The Ministry of Health has summarized the existing Health Protocol as follows:
• Only one positive ART is required as a confirmation for a COVID-19 case and when they upload a positive ART result to the BruHealth application, it counts as Day One
• Furthermore, positive cases who are undergoing self-isolation are required to undergo ART testing on Day Six. If the ART result is negative, they will be confirmed as recovered and allowed to end the self-isolation when their BruHealth code turns to green.
However, if the ART result is still positive on Day Six, they can repeat the ART test the next day and the following days until the ART result is negative. If the ART result remains positive on Day Ten, they will be confirmed as recovered and allowed to end the self-isolation on Day Eleven automatically. Members of the public are advised to use ART kits that are approved by the Ministry of Health and to use is correctly.
On the Integration of the Overseas COVID-19 Vaccination Records, the Minister of Health said that the COVID-19 vaccination records obtained overseas can now be integrated and updated into the BruHealth application.
Members of the public can visit 'www.healthinfo.gov.bn/travel' and complete the application information in the "Overseas COVID-19 Vaccination Records" function. Each application will be reviewed by the Ministry of Health prior to approval.
