How long can COVID-19 stay in the hotel?

The hotel is isolated for 7 days, and then it is isolated at home for 7 days.

Isolation is the epidemic prevention policy during the epidemic in COVID-19. The information of entry-related personnel was promptly pushed to the epidemic prevention and control headquarters of the destination for centralized isolation and nucleic acid detection 14 days.

The substance of nucleic acid detection is the nucleic acid of virus. Nucleic acid detection is to determine whether the patient is infected by COVID-19 by detecting whether there is nucleic acid of foreign invasive virus in respiratory tract samples, blood or feces. Therefore, once the nucleic acid is detected to be positive, it can be proved that there is a virus in the patient. After COVID-19 infects the human body, it will first reproduce in the respiratory system, so we can judge whether the human body is infected with the virus by detecting the virus nucleic acid in sputum and nasopharyngeal swab. Therefore, positive nucleic acid detection can be used as a new standard for the diagnosis of novel coronavirus infection.

All living things contain nucleic acids, including deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid. Novel coronavirus is a virus containing only RNA, and the specific RNA sequence in the virus is a sign to distinguish it from other pathogens. After the appearance of novel coronavirus, scientists completed the analysis of the whole genome sequence of novel coronavirus in a very short time, and found the specific nucleic acid sequence in novel coronavirus by comparing with the genome sequences of other species. If novel coronavirus's specific nucleic acid sequence can be detected in patients' samples during clinical laboratory testing, it should be suggested that patients may be infected by novel coronavirus.

Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases

Twelfth all units and individuals in People's Republic of China (PRC) must accept the prevention and control measures such as investigation, inspection, sample collection and isolation treatment of infectious diseases by disease prevention and control institutions and medical institutions, and provide relevant information truthfully. Disease prevention and control institutions and medical institutions shall not disclose relevant information and materials involving personal privacy.

Where the administrative department of health and its relevant departments, disease prevention and control institutions and medical institutions illegally implement administrative management or prevention and control measures and infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of units and individuals, the relevant units and individuals may apply for administrative reconsideration or bring a lawsuit according to law.
