Introduction
The likelihood of getting infected at a quarantine facility is generally low. Quarantine sites typically implement a policy of one person per room, and individuals in isolation strictly adhere to quarantine requirements, resulting in minimal opportunities for contact with others. Additionally, meals for quarantined individuals are delivered directly to their rooms by designated staff, further reducing the risk of infection.

Quarantine facilities typically follow a policy of one person per room, and individuals in quarantine strictly adhere to isolation requirements, resulting in minimal opportunities for contact with others. Additionally, meals are delivered directly to each person by designated staff, further reducing the risk of infection. Moreover, staff regularly disinfect the quarantine area, including utensils, which reduces the chances of virus survival. Therefore, the risk of infection for individuals at quarantine facilities remains relatively small. The novel coronavirus is a highly contagious virus, so it's important to actively comply with local quarantine requirements. During quarantine, individuals must strictly follow local regulations, avoid unauthorized movements, or intentional contact with others, thus protecting public health.

Infected individuals should maintain a positive mindset and adopt proactive coping strategies during quarantine.
