ARCHIVED - Health services obliged to notify Ministry of Health of all suspected cases of Covid-19
Data is being compiled to help identify and track Covid cases
On Tuesday the Ministry of Health has published an order in the BOE for the health authorities of the Autonomous Communities to identify "unequivocally" citizens who are infected or are suspected of having COVID-19.
The purpose of the order is "to support the health authority with the best available evidence to effectively lead and confront the response to this crisis."
"... It is necessary to adapt and strengthen the information systems for epidemiological follow-up and surveillance, so that early detection of any case that may have an active infection and, therefore, can transmit the disease is detected," it states.
The autonomous communities are obliged to communicate this information to "all the centers, services and sanitary and socio-sanitary establishments, both in the public and private sectors, as well as to the health professionals who work in them", who must submit to the Ministry of Health "all the data necessary for monitoring and epidemiological surveillance of COVID-19, "including" the data necessary to unequivocally identify citizens. "
The order reminds health authorities that coronavirus is an "urgent notifiable disease".
The order considers a suspicious case "any person with a clinical picture of acute respiratory infection of sudden onset of any severity that causes, among others, fever, cough or feeling of shortness of breath." Other "atypical symptoms such as odynophagia, anosmia, ageusia, muscle pain, chest pain", etc. are also included.
The order indicates that the authorities are not obliged to notify the Ministry of personal patient data, only a case number recording either a possible or confirmed case.
This is part of a larger European-wide initiative to record and track Covid data, particularly given the probability that there may be a “second wave” in the autumn or at some time in the future.
