Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, ``(Quarantine)`` na wan we we pɔsin we dɔn de nia pɔsin we gɛt infɛkshɔn sik, de fa frɔm ɔda pipul dɛn fɔ sɔm tɛm, bɔku pan dɛn na os, fɔ si if dɛnsɛf gɛt di sik ɛn gɛt di sayn dɛm. Imajin se yu padi gɛt kol ɛn yu bin de nia am. Naw yu de saspek se yusɛf gɛt am. Na dis kayn tɛm, yu de tek tɛm smɔl te yu sho di sayn dɛm. I tan lɛk, "stay smɔl away jɔs in kes."

Aw ``(Kwarantin)'' bin de durin ``(COVID-19)''? Wetin na di tin we de apin naw?

Yu go mɛmba se, di tɛm we di `(COVID-19)` pandemik bin de bɔku, ɔlman we bin dɔn de in klos kɔntakt wit pɔsin we gɛt di `(Koronavirus)` bin gɛt fɔ `(Quarantine)`, dat na fɔ de na os fɔ sɔm dez. Di men tin we mek dɛn du dis na fɔ stɔp pipul dɛn fɔ mek dɛn nɔ spre di vayrɔs to ɔda pipul dɛn if dɛn gɛt di sik we dɛn nɔ no. Bikɔs sɔm pipul dɛn nɔ kin sho di sik fɔ sɔm dez afta di vayrɔs dɔn go insay dɛn bɔdi. Bɔt ivin da tɛm de, di vayrɔs kin pas to ɔda pipul dɛn. So, tru dis `(Quarantine)`, wi bin tray fɔ brok di chen we di sik de pas.

Bɔt, di tin dɔn difrɛn smɔl naw. Bikɔs bɔku pipul dɛn ɔlsay na di wɔl dɔn gɛt di COVID-19 vaysin, ɛn bikɔs bɔku pipul dɛn bin dɔn gɛt COVID-19 bifo ɛn dɛn dɔn wɛl, ɛn dɛn dɔn gɛt natura l imyuniti , di CDC, di Sɛntral fɔ Kɔntrol ɛn Prɛvenshɔn fɔ Sik, de tɔk naw se fɔ gɛt tayt padi biznɛs wit pɔsin we gɛt COVID-19 nɔ min se dɛn nid fɔ put dɛn na kwarantin.

So wetin yu fɔ du naw? Frɔm di las tin dɛn we di CDC dɔn tɔk, if yu dɔn de nia pɔsin we gɛt COVID-19 (fɔ ɛgzampul, yu de liv na di sem os ɔ yu de tɔk to pɔsin fɔ pas 15 minit we yu nɔ gɛt mask), yu fɔ wɛr mask we yu de nia ɔda pipul dɛn fɔ 10 dez . Dis na bikɔs COVID-19 kin pas te 10 dez afta dɛn dɔn gɛt am. So yu kin dɔn gɛt di sik we yu nɔ no. I impɔtant bak fɔ mek yu du COVID-19 tɛst at le 5 dez afta yu dɔn gɛt di sik fɔ no fɔ tru if yu dɔn gɛt di sik. Dis kin bi Rapid Antigen Test ɔ PCR tɛst.

Imajin dis: Yu yɛri se sɔmbɔdi na yu ɔfis dɔn gɛt COVID-19. Yu bin de na mitin wit dɛn tu dez bifo dis tɛm. Naw yu nɔ gɛt ɛni simptom. Bɔt i kin tek sɔm dez fɔ mek di vayrɔs go insay yu bɔdi ɛn fɔ mek di sayn dɛn sho. If yu wɛr mask da tɛm de, yu kin ridyus di risk fɔ mek di vayrɔs pas ɔda pipul dɛn na yu os, mɔ di wan dɛn we dɔn ol, di smɔl pikin dɛn, ɔ di wan dɛn we gɛt ɔda sik. Yu ɔndastand se dis impɔtant? I tan lɛk se yu de kɛr ambɔla we ren de kam.

Den wetin na `(Isolation)`?

`(Isolation)` min se if dɛn kɔnfyus se pɔsin gɛt sik we de pas, fɔ ɛgzampul `(COVID-19)`, dɛn kin separet ɔlman kpatakpata, dɛn kin de na wan rum na di os, ivin fa frɔm ɔda pipul dɛn na di famili, so dat dɛn nɔ go skata di sik to ɔda pipul dɛn. Na `(Quarantine)` wi de wach fɔ si if wi go gɛt di sik. Bɔt na `(Isolation)` wi de tek tɛm mek wi nɔ pas am to ɔda pipul dɛn bikɔs wi dɔn gɛt di sik.

"Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, `(Quarantine)` min fɔ de apat 'fɔ si if yu gɛt sik' . `(Isolation)` min fɔ de apat 'fɔ nɔ spre di sik to ɔda pipul dɛn .'" Na di men difrɛns bitwin di tu.

Udat fɔ bi `(Isolation)`? Aw impɔtant dis?

Okay, so udat ekzakli shud de fo `(Isolation)`? Akɔdin to di gaydlayn dɛm fɔ di `(CDC)`, dɛn pipul ya fɔ rili de na `(Isolation)`:

• If yu gɛt simptom fɔ `(COVID-19)`. Dis inklud fiva, kɔf, nɔs we de rɔn, trot we de at, bɔdi we de at, ed we de at bad bad wan, we yu nɔ de te ɛn smɛl. Sɔm pipul kin gɛt sɔm sayn dɛm bak lɛk dayarɛa ɛn vɔmit.
• If yu test positif fɔ COVID-19, yu fɔ de na aysolɛshɔn, ilɛksɛf yu gɛt simptom ɔ yu nɔ gɛt. Dis na bikɔs yu kin spre di vayrɔs to ɔda pipul dɛn ivin if yu nɔ gɛt di sik.

Bɔku pipul dɛn kin tink se, ‘A dɔn tek ɔl di COVID-19 vaysin, so a nɔ nid fɔ de na aysolɛshɔn.’ Dat na mistek we pipul dɛn kin tink. Ivin if yu dɔn ful-ɔp di vaysin, if yu gɛt sɔm sayn dɛm, ɔ if yu tɛst pɔsitiv, yu fɔ rili de na aysolɛshɔn. Dis na bikɔs ivin if yu gɛt di vaysin, yu kin stil gɛt di vayrɔs ɛn spre am to ɔda pipul dɛn, mɔ di wan dɛn we nɔ gɛt di vaysin ɔ di wan dɛn we nɔ gɛt bɛtɛ imyun. Vaysin kin jɔs ridyus di kayn sik ɛn di kɔmplikeshɔn dɛm, dɛn nɔ kin stɔp di infɛkshɔn ɔltogɛda.

Di impɔtant tin fɔ mek wi nɔ de nia ɔda pipul dɛn na dat, we wi de du tin wit rɛspɔnsibiliti, wi go ebul fɔ kɔntrol di we aw di sik de skata na di sosayti. Ɛspɛshali, pipul dɛm wae gɛt dis sik (e.g. pipul dɛm wae gɛt kansa, pipul dɛm wae gɛt ɔgan transplant), pipul dɛm wae dɔn ol, ɛn wae gɛt sik wae nɔr de mɛn (e.g. dayabitis, at sik, lɔng sik) .Fɔ ɛgzampul, dis kin ɛp bɔku fɔ protɛkt di wan dɛn we kin sik bad bad wan if dɛn gɛt COVID-19. We yu de na say we yu nɔ de nia ɔda pipul dɛn, if yu de sheb batrum wit ɔda pipul dɛn na yu os, yu fɔ disinfɛkt am fayn fayn wan afta yu dɔn yuz am. Kip di tin dɛn we yu kin yuz fɔ it ɛn drink separet ɛn was dɛn sɛpret. Nɔ de wit ɔda pipul dɛn ɛn nɔ de na di sem rum as yu ebul. Dis kin tranga smɔl, ɛn kin mek wi strɛs, bɔt i impɔtant fɔ mek wi ɔl protɛkt wisɛf as sosayti.

Yu tink se dɛn lɔ ya na di sem ɔltɛm? Usay a go fɛn infɔmeshɔn?

Yu kin de wɔnda, 'Dɛn `(Quarantine)`, `(Isolation)` lɔ ya na di sem ɔltɛm?' Nɔto fɔ tru. Dɛn gaydlain ya, dat na di instrɔkshɔn dɛn we wi nid fɔ fala, kin chenj wan wan tɛm . Dɔn bak, dɛn lɔ ya kin chenj na ɛni kɔntri. Sɔntɛm di lɔ dɛn we de na Sri Lanka nɔ go tan lɛk di lɔ dɛn we de na ɔda kɔntri.
