Abstract

China has gradually relaxed its COVID-19 prevention and control regulations thanks to the efforts of the public at large.[1,2]COVID-19 patients with no or mild symptoms are encouraged to stay at home for quarantine and recovery to reduce the transmission of the virus and avoid flooding the healthcare system. The World Health Organization advises those infected with or exposed to COVID-19 to isolate or quarantine at home in a separate bedroom and bathroom.[3,4]Studies have shown that isolation could effectively reduce medical costs, economic damage due to work absenteeism and job loss, and the risks to and burdens on many families.[5 7]However, patients may encounter questions about home isolation, healthcare, physical activities, and mental health. Here, we discuss and propose guidelines and recommendations on COVID-19 home quarantine and recovery, aiming to help these patients prevent disease spreading and self-manage their healthcare during the disease recovery.
