Case scenario: Ralf, is a newly diagnosed patient with COVID-19, asymptomatic. The doctor
suggested to put him in self-quarantine for 14-days. He is quite confused about the case and his
management. The only thing he remembers is that he needs to comply to social distancing. But
everything else is vague. As a public health nurse what will be your purpose, goals and objectives in
developing a health education plan for Mr. Ralf.

of a person diagnosed with COVID-19 and their contacts so we can effectively
