No: Hospitals only admit patients that have covid symptoms severe enough to need support and management by a physician, and continuous care by nursing staff. That said, there are many creative ways to quarantine. Some families use a tent or RV outside the home for the ill member. Others quarantine the patient in one bedroom or send them to a hotel or to stay with someone else who is also sick.
