Abstract
COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a new virus and spread all over the world. It is a transferrable virus from human to human, and there is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19. The government is trying to prevent healthy ones from infected peoples that process is known as quarantine. During COVID19, people who travel from one states to other states are quarantined by the government of India at home or other places like hospitals, hotels, hostels, schools, etc. for a maximum of 14 days for the public safety. In this study, the authors discuss the differences between the home and other place quarantine in Kashmir. Also, they provide a solid conclusion about which one is better, home or outside the home for quarantine. The parameters that are used in this study are hygienic good, cleanness, mentally fit, sharing room, entertainment, medical care, and sleep. The paired t-test was used to check whether there is any significant difference between the parameters at home and outside quarantine, and the Shapiro-Wilk test at (α=0.05) was used to check the normality assumption.
