Home quarantine: A numerical evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 spread in a single-family house.

ABSTRACT: The worldwide pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has resulted in first-time responses in recent history as most of affected countries are confining residents to their homes.
