Why can’t people with COVID-19 be quarantined at home?

हाल ही में, some experts said that asymptomatic patients with COVID-19 do not need hospitalization, but they need to be quarantined. वास्तव में, the reason is very simple, because home isolation can easily lead to the widespread spread of the virus, which is not conducive to epidemic prevention and control.

लियांग वानियन, an expert on the COVID-19 epidemic from the Chinese Health and Medical Commission, pointed out in Shanghai that if asymptomatic infected persons and mildly ill patients are isolated at home, it may cause further widespread transmission of Omicron. इसके अतिरिक्त, home isolation cannot monitor and detect the progress of the infected person’s condition in a timely manner, and therefore cannot provide timely treatment. इसलिए, for infected people, we need to conduct centralized isolation.
