Self-isolation is seen as a critical way to reduce the spread of the virus

The British National Health Service has warned that many people may be asked to isolate themselves to prevent the spread of the Corona virus in Britain. But what should you do if there is a possibility that you are infected with the virus?

Sir Simon Stevens, Executive Director of the Health Services Authority, praised more than 80 people who spent two weeks quarantined as a “role model,” and said that many citizens may be asked to isolate themselves.

There are no official figures on the number of people who are advised to self-isolate, and this approach is seen as a critical way to reduce the spread of the virus.

But what does self-isolation mean and how do you guarantee its success?

Who should isolate himself?

You should only isolate yourself if the UK Public Health Service or the Health and Social Care Department inform you.

These departments track people who have been in “close and lasting contact” with individuals who have been confirmed to be infected with the virus, and it is considered that spending 15 minutes around two meters of the infected person is a high risk.

If you have traveled to China, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, or Macau during the past 14 days and you have symptoms such as coughing, fever, or shortness of breath, then in this case, do not go to the doctor or hospital , And stay home.

Do not go to the hospital’s accident and emergency department if you are infected with the virus or if you have contacted an infected person directly

What should you do when you are in self-isolation?

The Public Health Department of England advises citizens to follow their “common sense” to avoid direct contact with others as much as possible, just as they work when they have the flu.

This means staying at home for 14 days, and not going to work, school or other public places.

It also recommends staying in a well-ventilated room, separate from the rest of the home.

And asking for help when you need to purchase any supplies from grocery stores or other shopping places or pharmacies, it is OK for friends, family members or home delivery drivers to purchase and deliver them within two weeks.

Visitors should not be invited.

What do you do if you live with someone who isolates himself?

Although you may not be able to isolate yourself from family members or roommates, it is advised to limit your contact with them as much as possible.

As for if you live with someone who is infected with the Corona virus, you must follow the advice of the Health Services Authority by washing your hands frequently, with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after touching the patient or any of his personal belongings.

The commission also advises against sharing household items with him, and if possible, he must have a separate bathroom and toilet.

It also recommends the use of gloves when cleaning surfaces used inside the house and then get rid of them. It is also advised to put all the remains of the injured in a plastic garbage bag and tie it well then put it in another garbage bag.

Ru, “one of the evacuees from the Chinese city of Wuhan,” died after leaving quarantine

“When I got home, all of my family had packed their bags and left the house. I have children, and they got annoyed because they had to leave suddenly,” she said in an interview with the press.

Fearful of spreading the virus to others, I asked the home delivery driver to leave the groceries I ordered on the doorstep, even though the Public Health Administration of England considers it OK that these people be allowed to deliver the supplies.

Others complained of boredom and suspense to see if they had been injured. However, after a few days, some were informed that the results of the analysis demonstrated that they were free of HIV infection, which made their self-isolation period short.

But what will you do when you leave your solitude and become free? “It is very nice to be free, I will undoubtedly go for beer later,” says Matt Ruo, one of the evacuees from the Chinese city of Wuhan, after leaving the quarantine.
