WHO recommends that people who are identified as contacts of people infected with the #COVID19 virus stay in quarantine for 14 days to limit interactions with others and potential onward spread.

WHO guidance on quarantine of contacts: bit.ly/3i9wNQY
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.
WHO continues to call on governments and communities to provide support for people who need to be in quarantine, so they can stay home, monitor their health and prevent potential spread of the virus.
