Imphal, July 08 2021:
The State Government has rolled out the guidelines for Covid positive persons who are on home isolation with the Chief Minister launching the Manipur Home Isolation Management (MHIM) online application.
It may be mentioned that Chief Minister N Biren Singh launched MHIM for real-time monitoring of COVID-19 patients in home isolation on May 27 last.
For monitoring the patient on this app, the patient must be added in the monitoring list either by themselves or by the official concerned, said an office memorandum signed by Health Director Dr K Rajo Singh.
Home Isolation (HI) patients
For HI patients, MHIM can be downloaded from the Google Play Store, said Dr Rajo and continued that a verification request will be sent to the admin once the HI patient completes the registration process.
The admin will then verify the status of the patient and either accept or reject the request.
Saying that the enrolled HI patient can upload his/her daily status of oxygen saturation, pulse rate, and symptoms including fever, breathing difficulty, shortness of breath etc via the app, he added that a feature for raising alarm/SOS in case of emergency is also available.
In case of difficulties in registration or other issues in using the app, the HI patient can contact the helpline number provided in the www.mhim.in and the app, he advised.
