If you are tested positive for Covid-19 and isolated at home, Health Insurance offers you the help of a liberal nurse. Reassure you, help you, and inform you: these are the objectives of this measure, which intervenes to reinforce awareness of the usefulness of isolation to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
For whom and how to benefit from it?
This visit is not only dedicated to fragile people, or to people who request it: it must be systematically offered if you test positive for Covid-19. However, you are not forced to accept. This visit is free, 100% covered by health insurance. If you wish, it will intervene within 24 hours of the phone call to detect your contact cases.
To do what ?
First, the nurse comes to remind you that isolation is necessary and mandatory. Then he comes to assess your possible needs of all kinds. You may need medication, shopping, help with administrative procedures (sending sick leave). Perhaps you will also need psychological support?
While some people have a network enabling them to respond to all these issues, saving them from having to go out shopping or buy their medication, others find themselves alone in this situation.
On the other hand, the nurse will aim to measure your state of health and will serve as a relay for your attending physician. He may suggest, if however you share your place of life with other people, to carry out a PCR type screening at home.
