(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home4/hazem7ky/healthmedguru.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114S<\/span>ocial distancing has become a mantra of safety these days.\u00a0COVID-19 pandemic<\/a> caused by Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is making the world sick. And at such a time, people are being advised to stay away from each other. Country after country is going into partial or total lockdown. Even a populous country like India is under total lockdown, shutting its 1.3 billion people within their homes. Even in areas that are not under lockdown, authorities are taking various measures of social separation.<\/p>\n Words like Social Distancing, Self-Isolation, Self-Quarantine, Lockdown are the buzzwords of these trying times. But what do they mean? What\u2019s the difference between Social Distancing, Self-Isolation, Self-Quarantine, and Lockdown? Let us explain.<\/p>\n Social distancing means “remaining out of congregate settings, avoiding mass gatherings, and maintaining distance (approximately 6 feet or 2 meters) from others when possible.<\/em>” Simply speaking, it means \u2014 reduce contact with other people.<\/p>\n While social distancing is for the people who don’t yet have COVID-19, Isolation is for those who have become infected. People who have COVID-19 are advised to isolate themselves to prevent the infection from spreading to others. It is a way of limiting the patients\u2019 contact with those living around them.<\/p>\n Quarantine is to limit the movements of those people who have been exposed to COVID-19 but are not yet sick. Authorities send people into quarantine to monitor their health and see if they develop COVID-19. Some at-risk people are put in quarantine centers. Others may be advised to self-quarantine themselves at home.<\/p>\n Isolation and Quarantine follow almost similar procedures to distance the general\u00a0public from people who have or might have COVID-19 infection. The purpose of both these procedures is the same \u2014 break the chain of the infection.<\/p>\n As per\u00a0NHS<\/a>, If you have symptoms of COVID-19, you need to self-isolate yourself for 7 days. After 7 days, if you do not have a high temperature, you do not need to self-isolate. If you have a high temperature, stay isolated until your temperature returns to normal. No need to self-isolate if you only have a cough after 7 days.<\/p>\n If you live with someone who has COVID-19 symptoms, you need to isolate yourself for 14 days from the day their symptoms started. If more than one person in your family has the symptoms, isolate yourself for 14 days from the day the first person showed symptoms. And if you start showing symptoms too, self-isolate yourself for 7 more days from the day your symptoms appear.<\/p>\n People under self-isolation or self-quarantine must be very careful about their health and surrounding. If you are isolating yourself, observe the following precautions:<\/p>\n In a lockdown, people of an entire region are ordered to stay at home. At such a time, you can go out for essential supplies and other emergencies. But you must not step out of home for non-essential tasks. Doing this may even be a punishable offense.<\/p>\n Social distancing, self-isolation, quarantine, lockdown are all measures important to contain the spread of Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Observe them carefully, taking all precautions to ensure that you and those around you\u00a0stay safe from Coronavirus<\/a>. When you must stay confined within your home, don\u2019t panic or get anxious. Keep yourself engaged, eat a good diet, and stay connected with your family, friends, and doctor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Social distancing has become a mantra of safety these days.\u00a0COVID-19 pandemic caused by Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is making the world sick.
