COVID-19 prevention: Very difficult problem. By the time of first symptoms, s/he might have already spread it to other household members. But might still be important if another household member is elderly or has a serious health problem. But where to go without exposing others? In some high risk communities, public quarantine sites might become available. Otherwise, most families can't afford hotel for 2 weeks.
