Q & A COVID-19
Why do people who are suspected (suspect) of contracting the corona virus have to be isolated for at least 14 days?

Corona virus usually shows symptoms in 1-14 days. Therefore, the suspected person should be isolated for 14 days, either in a hospital, home or other location and monitored for symptoms such as fever, cough or shortness of breath. To confirm infection with the corona virus, the suspect can take the test several times. During isolation, suspects must follow all orders of health workers to prevent the spread of the virus.

On the other hand, health workers and all of us must always show empathy and compassion. Those who are isolated usually experience loneliness, worry and what is clear, the pain they experience is not of their own volition. You can support them by finding out their needs and helping as much as you can.
