PEOPLE suspected of having the H1N1 virus will no longer be automatically sent to the hospital.
Instead, those who show symptoms, which include a fever, cough or runny nose, can now be treated at any polyclinic or clinic that has been designated as a Pandemic Preparedness Clinic (PPC).
Doctors at these clinics, which will carry a 'H1N1-ready' decal in the shape of a red tick, will assess patients.
