The purpose of home isolation is to isolate a patient who, after examination by a doctor, does not require hospitalization due to their health condition. Home isolation is used in patients who have a positive test result for the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and do not have symptoms of the disease or show mild, moderate symptoms of COVID-19 disease (e.g. subfebrile condition, cough, sore throat, weakness).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Household contacts of a sick person have the highest risk of infection. Infection occurs through droplets from speaking, coughing or sneezing, or by touching contaminated objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the event of a deterioration in health, an ambulance should be called immediately, informing about the diagnosis of COVID-19 and isolation at home for transport to hospital. Deterioration may be indicated by persistent fever above 39 degrees, shortness of breath, chest pain, nosebleeds, petechiae on the skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
