ABSTRACT
Quarantine of COVID-19 high risk groups is one strategy of interrupting chains of transmissions of the disease. We describe a COVID-19 imported case placed under home quarantine that resulted in 8 local transmission cases at the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic in Botswana. This case report highlights that home quarantine if not well managed can lead to a surge in local cases and drawing from the literature we propose recommendations of strengthening home quarantine.
