What does Self-Quarantine mean?

Self-quarantine means staying at home for a period of time to help limit the spread of any communicable disease. Self-quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of a seemingly healthy person (exhibits no symptoms) but may have been exposed to a communicable disease, to see if they become sick over a stipulated time period.

How to Self-Quarantine

  • Stay away from other people in your home as much
    as possible. Stay in a separate room and use a separate bathroom if available
  • Don’t leave your house unless absolutely
    necessary. Only leave the house if you need to see your doctor and you have
    called ahead to discuss and plan your appointment
  • No visitors
  • Wear a face mask if you must be around other
    people
  • When you cough/sneeze:

Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue; immediately throw used tissues in the garbage; wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; if that’s not available, clean with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer

  • Avoid sharing household items, including cups,
    eating utensils, towels or even bedding. Wash these items thoroughly after use
  • Clean high-touch surfaces daily using a
    household cleaner or wipe. These include: counters, tabletops, doorknobs,
    bathroom fixtures, toilets, phones, keyboards, tablets and bedside tables
  • Shared spaces in the home should have good
    airflow — use an air conditioner or open windows
  • Continue monitoring your symptoms. If they
    worsen, i.e. you begin to have difficulty breathing, call the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) on
    080097000010 or SMS 08099555577 immediately.

  1. Hello There. I found your blog using msn. This is a really well written article. I will be sure to bookmark it and come back to read more of your useful information. Thanks for the post. I?ll certainly comeback.

  2. That is the precise weblog for anybody who wants to seek out out about this topic. You understand so much its virtually hard to argue with you (not that I really would need?HaHa). You definitely put a brand new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Nice stuff, simply great!

  3. With almost everything which seems to be building throughout this particular subject matter, all your opinions are generally relatively radical. Having said that, I appologize, but I can not give credence to your entire idea, all be it exciting none the less. It looks to everyone that your remarks are not completely validated and in fact you are generally your self not totally certain of the point. In any case I did enjoy examining it.

  4. I’ve observed that in the world the present moment, video games are the latest fad with kids of all ages. Often times it may be impossible to drag your children away from the video games. If you want the very best of both worlds, there are lots of educational video games for kids. Interesting post.

  5. Great post made here. One thing I’d like to say is the fact that most professional areas consider the Bachelor’s Degree as the entry level standard for an online college degree. Even though Associate Diplomas are a great way to get started on, completing your Bachelors opens many entrance doors to various jobs, there are numerous online Bachelor Course Programs available from institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another concern is that many brick and mortar institutions provide Online variations of their degree programs but commonly for a greatly higher charge than the institutions that specialize in online degree plans.

  6. Wonderful blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely confused .. Any ideas? Appreciate it!
