Flattening the curve
A nice and informative figure on how the active and early application of preventive measures and precaution could change the outbreak consequences and reduce the burden on health facilities
If you have been diagnosed with COVID-19, you must stay at home to prevent it spreading to other people.
You might also be asked to stay at home if you may have been exposed to the virus.
Staying at home means you:
- do not go to public places such as work, school, shopping centers, childcare or university
- ask someone to get food and other necessities for you and leave them at your front door
- do not let visitors in — only people who usually live with you should be in your home
You do not need to wear a mask in your home. If you need to go out to seek medical attention, wear a surgical mask (if you have one) to protect others.
You should stay in touch by phone and on-line with your family and friends.

Thank you for valuable advice. it's really important and a prior step.
I think staying at home (isolation) is better than being quarantine health authority. but it an educated or knowledgable people.
Dear colleague have a nice day. In this RG question there are some attempt to search the causes of the incredible (humanitarian) case of mortality rate in N. Italy (Lombardia & Emilia Romagna). https://www.researchgate.net/post/The_novel_Coronavirus_in_N_Italy_Lombardia_COVID19_2019nCoV_SARSCoV2_shows_a_fatality_rate_compatible_with_SARS_Why ...... These data https://www.researchgate.net/publication/339781431 .. are very similar to SARS or MERS.
Dear Prof. Dr. Ali Abutiheen,

@Samir G Pandya Thank you dear professor for the important information and advises
The effective measures are the closure of airports, transport terminals, and other places that can facilitate the distribution of the virus. Initiate rapid screening protocols, and with a large number of screening tests. On the other hand, the implementation of quarantine and isolation measures. And individual measures such as the indications for handwashing, the use of face masks and glasses, as well as other prevention and control strategies that I describe in my manuscript to which I attach the link.

Jorge Andrés Sánchez-Duque
thank you for the valuable comment and the important points highlighted.
I think the current query is:
Till when these measures should continue? including closure and restriction of movement and closure of many facilities including schools and Universities.
As the COVID-19 course is shown to long.
best regards
Isolation of the infected cases is the most important component for the control of COVID-19, especially in the context of developing countries.
Hamid Sharifi Thank you a lot.
An important issue raised, Isolation of infected cases is so important.
But I think with the widespread of infection social distancing, restriction of movements (any form or level of Curfew) and wearing masking are so important also. as many infected persons will be missed with especially with lower numbers of tests done in developing countries as well as lower health education, attitude and practices in these countries
