2. There is a separate toilet and bathroom.

3. Furniture should be preferably made of wood and metal materials, which is convenient for disinfection (if the only fabric and leather furniture are available, disposable plastic sheets can be laid);

4. The whole house should have as few articles as possible to reduce the infection rate and the trouble of disinfection and cleaning in the later period.

Necessary materials for quarantine at home mainly include disinfection and nursing supplies, daily necessities, etc.
