COVID-19: quarantine, isolation, and lifestyle diseases.

Within just a month of the first case of idiopathic pneumonia, on 30 January 2020, WHO declared the outbreak, a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. On 11 February 2019, the Internal Committee on Taxonomy of Virus (ICTV) announced the name of the novel virus as "severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)" and on 11 March 2020, WHO declared it a global pandemic. As a preventive measure, the government of several countries has imposed quarantine and isolation for preventing the further spread of disease. Both of these restrict outdoor activities, which can directly affect the lifestyle of citizens. Quarantine for the long term can result in increased lifestyle disease, mainly cardiovascular diseases, and obesity.
