Mr. Ali is symptomatic and Positive. During the case investigation, he informs that 3 others in his workplace are also swabbed along with him. One of them is planning to return to his home country the day after tomorrow. Mr. Ali requested to know his friend’s result and his CT value so that he can help him in taking an early action. Mr. Ali was also seeking help with another friend’s Ehteraz status which turned yellow yesterday, and doesn’t know what being Reactive means.

As an investigator what should you do in such a situation?

•   Tell him the result of his friend including CT value

• Seek the help of your colleague in the other team , to check his Ehteraz status

•   Refuse the request and continue with the case investigation.

•   Give the phone to your fellow case investigator who has Cerner access , so that she can provide all the information to him.

   Ms. Aisha is tested Positive yesterday. Upon attending the call she started shouting, saying that the phone number doesn’t belong to a landline and considers the call as a spam call, which she is already receiving many for the past few days asking about her QID and bank details. She refuses to give any information and threatens to call the Police right away. She strongly believes that she is not covid-19 positive as she is Asymptomatic, and she is reluctant to give details regarding the family members nor her close contacts at the workplace .

 What is the most appropriate action the case investigator should adopt to tackle the situation?

•   Collect details regarding the previous spam calls and store the patient’s details in an online storage app for future reference.

• Try to assure her that you are calling from MOPH. Explain the importance of this interview and provide her with her identifiers.

• Inform her regarding the workflow in MOPH and give team leader/supervisor contact No.

•    Refer case to the MOI through the supervisor on duty.
