新西兰卫生部11月25日消息，政府支持新西兰人在社区内从COVID-19中恢复过来。为药房购买治疗COVID-19的新药提供3亿纽币资助。社区护理方法将使大多数病例在24小时内得到医疗服务提供者的初步联系在48小时内提供支持包，在整个康复过程中定期进行健康检查。
卫生部长安德鲁-利特尔今天宣布，政府将通过推出COVID社区护理模式和向药房提供3亿纽币的资金来购买治疗该病毒的新药，增加对COVID-19检测呈阳性的新西兰人的支持。
卫生部长安德鲁-利特尔说: “新型变种来了，所以我们正在改变我们处理病毒的策略。在家里支持康复和更多地获得药物以阻止人们得重病是社区护理模式的基石。随着我们转向交通灯系统，减少限制，并取消奥克兰边界，人们将在未来几个月里在全国各地旅行，我们将看到全国各地更多的病例。绝大多数感染COVID-19的人都会有轻度到中度的症状，不需要医院护理，但是我们需要确保那些在家里康复的人得到他们安全康复所需的支持和药物，而且家里的其他人也是安全的”。
安德鲁-利特尔说:” COVID-19社区护理模式提供了一个框架，随着全国各地病例的增加，将如何提供端到端的社区支持，并规定了卫生和福利提供者的期望。对于可以在家隔离的COVID-19患者，社区护理将包括:
* 在接到阳性结果通知的24小时内，由医疗服务提供者进行初步联系，以讨论任何健康、住宿和福利要求。家庭联系人也需要隔离，他们将得到健康咨询和接受测试的支持。
* 一个指定的联络人，很可能来自当地的医疗机构，他将负责照顾这个人的健康和福利需求，包括制定一个计划，在这个人被感染的时候定期检查。
* 在48小时内提供适合个人健康需要的健康包，以帮助患者管理康复。
* 在隔离期内进行持续的临床监测，以确保患者能够应对各种症状，并且能够安全地继续在社区接受护理。
* 在第10天进行健康评估，以确定患者是否可以安全地结束隔离期。
* 这时，家庭联系人需要在家里呆上至少10天，以确保他们不受病毒感染。在这段时间里，家庭的专门健康联系人将继续检查他们的情况。
每个人现在也可以尽自己的力量帮助自己和自己的亲人，使用准备情况检查表进行计划和准备。Covid-19药品资助作为向社区护理转变的一部分，政府正在为国家药品采购机构药房提供3亿纽币的资金，以购买更多治疗COVID-19的新药”。
安德鲁-利特尔说：”药品正在迅速开发，可以阻止大多数人病得需要去医院。接种疫苗仍然是抵御病毒的第一道和最好的防线，但我们希望确保感染COVID-19的人能够尽快获得新的治疗。 新西兰处于这些药物的队列中的前列。我们是世界上最早获得用于治疗轻度至中度COVID感染者的新型抗病毒药物莫努匹拉韦的供应的国家之一，约房正在与其他制药公司谈论他们的药物。内阁已经同意提供额外的3亿纽币，因此购买COVID药物不会影响Pharmac继续购买其他疾病的药物和治疗方法”。
25 November，Supporting New Zealanders to recover from COVID-19 in the community
· $300 million boost to Pharmac to buy new medicines to treat COVID-19
· Care in the Community approach will see most cases receive initial contact from a healthcare provider wiithin 24 hours
· Support pack provided within 48 hours
· Regular health checks throughout recovery
The Government is increasing the support for New Zealanders who test positive for COVID-19 through the rollout of the COVID Care in the Community model and a $300 million funding boost to Pharmac to purchase new medicines to treat the virus, Health Minister Andrew Little announced today.
“Delta is here so we are changing our strategy for how we deal with the virus. Supported recovery at home and greater access to medicines to stop people getting very sick are the cornerstones of the Care in the Community model,” Andrew Little said.
“As we move to the Traffic Light System, reduce restrictions, and remove the Auckland boundary, people will be travelling around the country in the months to come and we will see more cases across the country.
“The vast majority of people who get COVID will have mild to moderate symptoms and won’t require hospital care, but we need to make sure those recovering at home have the support and medicine they need to recover safely, and that others in the household are safe as well,” Andrew Little said.
The COVID Care in the Community model provides the framework for how the end-to-end community support will be provided as cases increase throughout the country, and sets out the expectations of health and welfare providers.
For someone with COVID-19 who can isolate at home, Care in the Community will include:
· An initial contact from a healthcare provider within 24 hours of a positive result notification, to discuss any health, accommodation and wellbeing requirements. Household contacts will also need to isolate, they’ll be supported with health advice and getting tested as well.
· A designated point of contact, most likely from a local healthcare provider, who will be responsible for looking out for the person’s health and wellbeing needs, including making a plan for checking in regularly while the person is infected.
· A health pack tailored to the individual’s health needs delivered within 48 hours to help the person manage recovery.
· Ongoing clinical monitoring over the duration of the isolation period to make sure the person is coping with symptoms and is safe to continue being cared for in the community.
· A health assessment at Day 10 to determine whether the person can safely end time in isolation.
At this point, household contacts will need to stay at home for at least 10 days, to make sure they remain free from the virus. The households’ dedicated health contact will continue to check in on them during this time.
Everyone can also do their bit now to help themselves and their loved ones by using the Readiness Checklist to plan and prepare.
COVID-19 MEDICINES FUNDING
As part of the shift to Care in the Community, the Government is providing $300 million for the national drug-buying agency Pharmac to buy more new medicines to treat COVID-19.
“Medicines are being rapidly developed and can stop most people getting so sick they need to go to hospital,” Andrew Little said.
“Vaccinations are still the first and best line of defence against the virus, but we want to make sure people who do contract COVID-19 have access to new treatments as soon as possible.
“New Zealand is at the front of the queue for these medicines. We were one of the first countries in the world to secure supplies of the new anti-viral drug molnupiravir for treating people with mild-to-medium COVID infections, and Pharmac is talking to other pharmaceutical companies about their medicines.
“Cabinet has agreed to provide an extra $300 million so the purchase of COVID drugs doesn’t affect Pharmac’s ability to keep buying medications and treatments for other conditions.”
