It is recommended by the WHO to distribute patients with the most severe symptoms to the most equipped, COVID-19 focused hospitals, then patients with less severe symptoms to local institutions and lastly, patients with light symptoms to temporary COVID-19 establishments for appropriate isolation and monitoring of disease progression. Countries, like China, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States have established their distinctive COVID-19 clinical set-ups based on the general WHO guidelines.
