Brief Answer:
Stay at home, wash hands with soap regularly.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
You and your parents if already staying together in one house, all of you need to stay at home.
All of you must wash your hands with normal soap and water.
Do not use same towels and clothes to wipe hands etc.
Wash clothes in hot water and dry them in direct sunlight.
Eat healthy food.
Do not panic.
If you develop fevers with difficulty breathing then consult your local doctor or nearest hospital.
Avoid being in contact with many people if you have any fever, cough, cold and breathing difficulty.
Do not go to large gatherings and meetings.
Hope that helps.

Hello,
I am not home yet, travelling back coming sunday. I do not have any symptoms.
I would like to know do I send my parents to my brothers place for the duration of a week while I do self qurantine (required as per my company policy)
I do not have any symptoms of corona yet, but do I send them to my brother's place to avoid any kind of exposure? Or will it be ok if they stay back and continue to be in the same house during this said one week of self qurantine period?
