Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the microorganism responsible for the aggressive Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic. During the such pandemic, discharge and community reintegration of patients are critical phases in guaranteeing public health. A review of the international and Italian experiences that represent the best available evidence was carried out, mainly focusing on the precise allocation of tasks and related responsibilities. The report provides a proposal for a systematic management pathway dedicated to COVID-19 patients. The original result is a logigramme to guide health practitioners on discharge and community reintegration of COVID-19 patients. To standardize clinical attitudes helps in ensuring quality of care and patient safety, should be a core element even during a public health emergency. The logigramme suggests, after discharge, 14 days of further isolation with regular health monitoring and, finally, the execution of a nasopharyngeal swab for identification of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA. Home-cared patients should be placed on 7 days of further isolation after at least 2 negative RT-PCR tests for respiratory tract samples (nasopharyngeal swab). The logigramme is already used in the Department of Prevention - Local Health Agency of Lecce (Apulia) but it will be updated according to the latest research findings.
