WHO recommends that people who are infected with the #COVID19 virus are isolated and those who are their contacts are in quarantine to limit interactions with others for a period of time to limit onward spread.

ISOLATION is the separation of an infected person from others to prevent the spread of the #COVID19 virus to others.
QUARANTINE of contacts is the restriction of activities and/or the separation of persons who are not ill, but who have been exposed to a person infected with the #COVID19 virus.
The objective of a quarantine is to monitor the health of contacts, to ensure early detection of #COVID19 cases amongst contacts, and to prevent onward spread if the contact is infected.
