Each case is examined individually. Currently most countries in the world prevent entry of COVID-19 diagnosed patients from abroad and apply new restrictions on a daily basis. Companies operating emergency medical evacuation avoid evacuating COVID-19 patients. Considerations depend on the availability of medical staff who are capable of making such a transfer with the consent of a hospital to receive a COVID-19 patient coming from another country, and most importantly, the consent of the authorities in the receiving country to accept a COVID-19 patient into the country.
Each country has published its rules and conditions for conducting the tests. When appropriate symptoms appear and/or you were exposed to a COVID-19 patient, please contact the local health authorities (for example: US 911 or CDC hotline, UK 111) or consult with a physician.
We choose to adopt the World Health Organization guidelines that have so far been proven to be effective. We recommend our customers to retain social distancing, stay at home as much as possible, maintain strict hygiene, and refrain from travels abroad.
