English term or phrase: cocooning
Definition from Citizens Information:
Cocooning involves staying at home and reducing face-to-face interaction with other people as much as possible. It is intended to minimise your risk of getting COVID-19.

Example sentence(s):
  • Cocooning should be resourced proactively and tailored to meet the distinct needs of high-risk subgroups, including work-at-home and paid leave programs that enable high-risk workers to self-isolate CDC
  • If you have someone else living with you, who does not fit the criteria for cocooning, they are not required to adopt these protective cocooning measures for themselves. They should do what they can to support you in cocooning and they should stringently follow guidance on physical distancing, reducing their contact outside the home. gov.ie
  • Almost 1 in 6 participants reported that while cocooning they did not seek medical attention for an illness, when they otherwise would have done so. Half of those who did not seek medical attention said this was because they were afraid of catching COVID-19. EurekAlert

  • إنَّ استشعار الخوف نعمة في حياة الإنسان، والخالق الحكيم أوجد الخوف كعنصر إبقاء على حياة الكائن الحيّ، لكنَّ الخوف منه صنف إيجابيّ يبعث على الحذر والحيطة، ومنه ما هو سلبي يؤدي بصاحبه إلى التقوقع. - الميادين
