Due to an increase in COVID-19 cases in the state, the Karnataka government is probably going to reinstate home isolation for those who test positive for the virus. State Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao said that those who test positive would have to stay in isolation for seven days while their symptomatic contacts were screened for the infection. We await guidelines.

Even though the majority of COVID-19 patients no longer require hospitalization, they can still spread the infection to others if they are undiagnosed. One way to stop the infection from spreading to other family members and people who come into contact with the infected individual is to stay isolated at home.
As per the official rules for home isolation, use a triple-layer mask that needs to be replaced every eight hours or when it becomes obviously unclean. It is desirable for the patient and the caregiver to wear N-95 masks when the caregiver enters the room.
