                     Ziqitza Healthcare ltd -  suggest Dos and Don'ts of 
home isolation
 Quarantining yourself at home means staying at home and 
avoiding contact with others if you have developed, or been 
exposed to, an infectious disease, until the infectious period of 
the illness is over, or until you know that you have not 
contracted an illness to which you have been exposed. 
Quarantine helps to slow the spread of infection across a 
population.
You may be asked to stay at home until at least seven days after 
the onset of symptoms or after you were first exposed to 
someone with the disease. Your doctor will tell you exactly 
when your quarantine can safely end. Ziqitza Rajasthan and ZHL 
Rajasthan help you with the tips which you should keep in mind 
while you are quarantined at home.
Do’s to follow when Quarantined at Home
1. Dr Datar  Ziqtza Limited says when you are home quarantined for 
14 days, stay in a well-ventilated room with an attached toilet. 
Prefer to stay away from the rest of the family members if you are 
suspected to have an infection. Follow all hygiene measures 
including mask, hand sanitisation, and physical distancing at all 
times.
2. Eat healthy and nutritious food: Make sure that you have a 
balanced and nutritious diet every day.
o Include plenty of vitamin C, proteins, and other essential nutrients in 
your daily diet.
o Avoid eating outdoor or junk foods, highly processed foods, and 
foods containing trans fats or saturated fats.
o Develop a meal schedule and follow your meal plan.
o Avoid skipping meals and munching on snacks throughout the day.
3. Stay Hydrated: Ensure that you drink plenty of water and 
healthy fluids when quarantined at home. Adequate water 
intake helps you maintain good health, eliminate toxins, and 
combat viruses and infections. Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of 
water every day. Also, you can have citrus fruit juices, such as 
orange juice, sweet lime juice, lemonade, and others.
4. Exercise: Continue your fitness routine while quarantined at 
home. Performing exercises regularly helps you stay fit and aids 
in recovery when quarantined. Practice various yoga poses in 
your room. Also, you can perform exercises, such as wall squats, 
breathing exercises, planks, sit-ups, and many more, to manage 
your weight and maintain good health. While performing 
exercise make sure that you do not do over-exertion. Stop if you 
are feeling uncomfortable or painful.
5.     Take care of your mental health: Ziqitza understands being 
confined to home or indoors for days together may affect your 
mental health adversely. You may feel low or experience anxiety 
and stress. Following certain stress-relieving and relaxing 
techniques can help you enjoy good mental health.
o Practice meditation and yoga.
o Take a break from the news and social media.
o Have plenty of sleep.
o Interact with your beloved family and friends through a video 
call.
6.     Clean and disinfect the frequently touched surfaces, with a 
disinfectant, often. These include doorknobs, hangers, toilet 
surfaces, bed-frames, and others.
7.     Wash your hands often with soap and water or using an 
alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
8. Wear a surgical mask, while interacting with anyone, to 
prevent the spread of infection. Change the mask and replace it 
with a new one every 6 to 8 hours, and dispose of the used 
mask in a closed bin.
9.     Stay away from your kids, elderly family members, 
pregnant women, and people having comorbidities, such as 
diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. in the house.
10. Clothes and other linen of the individual who is home 
quarantined should be cleaned separately by using good 
detergent and should be sun-dried. Also, the utensils of the 
quarantined individuals, such as spoon, plate, water glass, cup, 
and other objects, should be washed separately.
11.  Masks used by the caregivers, patients or close contacts of 
the quarantined individual should be disinfected by using 
disinfectant and then disposed of properly.
Don’ts to follow when Quarantined at Home
1. Do not share your personal household items, such as 
drinking glasses, spoons, teacups, bedding, towels, and 
other items, with the rest of the family members.
2. Do not take any medicines without consulting a qualified 
doctor.
3. Do not get in close contact with your family members. 
Prefer staying in an isolated room for the quarantine period. 
Avoid being part of any social gathering or family gathering.
4. Do not touch your nose, mouth, and eyes with your 
unwashed hands.
Ziqitza Limited suggests when you are home quarantined, along 
with you, your family members also need to take care to stay 
safe and avoid the spread of the infection.
Only one selected family member should take care of the home 
quarantined individual. Providing the food, collecting the used 
household items, such as utensils and clothes to wash, providing 
medicines, and other necessary activities should be carried out 
by the assigned family member only.
Avoid getting in direct contact with the quarantined family 
members. Also, avoid shaking the soiled bedding and linen.
Make use of disposable gloves when cleaning the soiled or used 
linen and various surfaces.
Wash your hands with soap and water after removing the hand 
gloves.
Do not allow visitors to meet the home quarantined family 
members
