How to self-quarantine

Life Hacks

For the past few weeks, Kenyans have been introduced to relatively new terms thanks to the Coronavirus.

One term that is on everyone’s lips is self-quarantine.

Health CS Mutahi Kagwe has often told those who feel unwell during this period to self-quarantine but do we really know what it entails?

According to the Ministry of Health, it refers to separating yourself for 14 days if you suspect that you may have been exposed to Coronavirus (COVID-19).

You should use that period to monitor if you will develop symptoms.

Who should self-quarantine

Anyone who has travelled within the past 14 days to a country with sustained reported COVID-19 cases or has had close contact with a person showing symptoms
