When is it justified to isolate (not talking about the lock down) for covid-19? which symptoms justifies it?

Any contagiousness: A person with any signs of respiratory infection or gastrointestinal infection should be isolated to prevent spread of his infection. Allergies can cause symptoms similar to infection symptoms, which means a person with allergy symptoms at this pandemic time should also be isolated. Note that if every person is isolated for 3-4 weeks, the pandemic stops because virus transmission stops. (3/25/20)
