Geolocation data will be used in Moscow to monitor whereabouts of novel coronavirus patients who are receiving treatment at home, Moscow Deputy Mayor Anastasia Rakova said.
Earlier, a patient with confirmed novel coronavirus fled the Kommunarka hospital for coronavirus patients. She was tracked via a video surveillance system and returned back to the ward.
"We are toughening the regime [for patients who stay in self-isolation at home]. At present, constantly providing geolocation data is a mandatory requirement for a person who receives treatment at home. This will help us to offer a more prompt response," TASS cited Rakova as saying.
According to her, the majority of those who are being treated at home, observe all the necessary precautions and quarantine rules.
