COVID-19 consultation is an online consultation service provided for COVID-19 patients. It enables people to consult doctors online and receive medical advice about their symptoms. This service is provided by infectious disease specialists or general practitioners (family doctors) who specialise in treating COVID-19 patients.
COVID consultation online has become increasingly important during the pandemic as it reduces the risk of spreading the virus by minimising physical interactions between patients and healthcare workers. It also enables people to receive medical advice from the comfort of their homes.
