What Does Self-Quarantine Mean?
This is a transparent self-restriction of persons’ activities when they are not ill with COVID-19 to protect unexposed members of the community from contracting the disease should any at-risk person become sick. It also facilitates early detection of the disease for the rapid implementation of response measures.
It, therefore, helps to prevent the spread of the disease to close friends, relatives, and community members.
This is particularly important for persons who are classified as close contacts of a confirmed COVID-19 case.
Close contacts are individuals who have been in the proximity of less than 1 meter to a confirmed case from 2 days prior to symptom onset of the case and as long as the person is
symptomatic.
Close contacts are required to stay at their homes, hotel room or any identified accommodation without mixing with the general public or family members for 14 days since the last contact with the confirmed case.
Self-quarantined individuals will be followed up by surveillance officers either via phone or via
physical visits (inappropriate PPEs) during the period of quarantine.
