How to quarantine at home:
- Isolate for 10 days.
- If possible, stay and sleep alone in a room that has a window with good air flowing through.
- You can talk to other family members and go outside, but you should stay at least 2 metres away from everyone at all times
- You should not have visitors at your house during this time.
- One family member should be assigned as your caregiver. This exposes less of your family and also ensures that you and the caregiver can develop good habits so that they do not catch the virus from you.
- If these procedures are not possible, you should contact your health care workeror clinic for alternative options.
- The Provincial Covid-19 hotline is 0800 535 554.
