Once i'm in my own house, do i need to keep washing my hands? since i'm away from the world with coronavirus in my house, why would i need to keep washing my hands all the time?

Not as much: If you live completely alone: once you get home, wash your hands well and if you have been to a crowded area, change your clothes. Then, you only need to wash your hands after bathroom breaks, if you receive a package or groceries or before eating. Cleaning and sanitizing will not need to be done as frequently.
