This means avoiding close contact (less than 1 meter) with other people, including family members, avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth. If one person in a household is self- isolating, the entire household should quarantine. “They should also call their health care provider or the local public health department, giving them details of their recent travel and symptoms” (WHO).
