When a person who is asymptomatic (showing no symptoms) or unwell or exhibiting symptoms of Coronavirus decides to separate himself/herself from exposure to other infected people, it is known as quarantine. Such individuals restrict their movements outside their closed quarters, typically for about 14 days. Home quarantine is a measure that is applicable to all individuals who have come in contact with a suspected or confirmed case of the new Coronavirus.
