what is difference between self isolation,self quarantine and social distancing
Answers
Answer:
Social distancing means:
not going to large events such as sports games, music festivals, or theater shows
not going to social gatherings, such as parties or weddings
not meeting with friends or family
not gathering in public places such as shopping malls, bars, restaurants, or parks
keeping at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from people who do not live in the same household
The World Health Organization (WHO) have advised everyone to physically distance themselves from anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
Some countries, including the United Kingdom, France, and Italy, have asked all citizens to practice physical distancing at all times.
The CDC recommend that all people wear cloth face masks in public places where it is difficult to maintain a 6-foot (2-meter) distance from others. This will help slow the spread of the virus from asymptomatic people and people who do not know that they have contracted it. People should wear cloth face masks while continuing to practice physical distancing. Instructions for making masks at home are available here. Note: It is critical that surgical masks and N95 respirators are reserved for healthcare workers.
What is self-isolation?
Self-isolation aims to keep people who may have COVID-19 away from others. This should stop them from passing the virus on.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have asked anyone in the United States who develops possible COVID-19 symptoms to self-isolate. Such symptoms include:
fever
a cough
difficulty breathing
Self-isolation means:
staying at home for 7 days, unless to seek urgent medical care
avoiding public transport when seeking medical care
not having visitors
trying to stay in separate rooms, if living in a shared household
asking delivery drivers to leave items outside
During self-isolation, people should also be:
staying in a well-ventilated room that has an opening window
using different towels to others living in the same house
regularly cleaning toilets and bathrooms
washing cutlery and dishes thoroughly
Most people with COVID-19 will experience symptoms that do not require specialist care. These symptoms may include:
a high temperature
a new, continuous cough
shortness of breath
However, if a person develops any of the following symptoms, they or their caregiver should call for emergency assistance straight away:
difficulty breathing
persistent pain in the chest
a feeling of pressure in the chest
confusion
blue lips
a bluish face
This can give rise to feelings of:
concern
loneliness
anger
boredom
frustration
anxiety
depression
Some tips for dealing with physical isolation include:
staying up to date but trying to limit news intake
looking for trusted sources of information, such as the CDC and the WHO
staying connected to friends and family by using the internet
trying to stay active
trying to build a structured daily routine
practicing breathing exercises
practicing yoga or meditation
trying calming activities, such as taking a warm bath or reading a book
finding out what support is available from local authorities and nonprofit groups

How can physical distancing and self-isolation affect the pandemic?
Countries around the world are using physical distancing and self-isolation to try to contain the COVID-19 outbreak.
There is currently no vaccine for SARS-CoV-2. This means that physical distancing and self-isolation are the best ways for people to keep themselves and their communities safe.
These measures will help prevent people from contracting the virus and prevent them from passing it on to others.
By slowing the spread of the virus, public health officials are aiming to ensure that healthcare systems have enough staff, equipment, and beds to care for people who fall seriously ill.
This is especially important for people at higher risk of developing COVID-19, including:
older adults
people with autoimmune conditions such as lupus
people with respiratory conditions such as asthma
pregnant women
Explanation:
Self isolation is more like a willing act, to stay away from everyone or anything, more because of a mental state,(such as depression) it can be for other reasons too.
Self-quarantine is a more intensive form of excluding yourself from interaction with others than social distancing, this is usually during such a pandemic
Social distancing is keeping yourself at a safe distance from people like 6 feet or so, this is so that you can keep yourself or others safe from certain ...things?.....pandemics
