According to the directives, hospital admission will only be permitted if the individual is genuinely unwell, either physically or mentally, or suffers from a chronic condition requiring medical attention, such as high blood pressure or diabetes.
Decisions regarding the necessity of hospitalization will be made by registered medical professionals, and individuals seeking admission for over 48 hours must provide valid reasons for their extended stay.
