    What are the recommendations as to what to do with patients who have mild/moderate symptoms (not to a degree that requires admission) but are PUI due to possible exposure? Do we keep them in isolation in the ED until test results come back? Do you send them home to self quarantine? Also when these mild/moderate cases come back with positive tests results what do you do with them? Admit for isolation? Discharge to self quarantine?

    There seems to be a lot of sound recommendations for severely ill patients but not for those with mild/moderate symptoms…..any guidance would be highly appreciated.
