Abstract
In light of escalating rates of COVID-19 cases, the world stands stunned. The health, social, and global economic situation continues to deteriorate. The seriousness of the situation became evident to most people, yet no one had a radical solution. Scientifically, there is no sure treatment for viral infections other than strengthening the immune system. Therefore, the idea of a vaccine is the most appropriate to reduce infections. However, vaccines will not be accessible to everyone, considering the genetic changes that the virus may create later. The idea of re-imposing a global quarantine, with international leadership for a limited period, is emerging as a strategic alternative, on the condition that it should be launched simultaneously in all countries of the world. To ensure the quarantine's success, all countries must adhere to the comments of the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Summary
Are we in a dream or a nightmare? A question that resonates in our ears every day in the past several months when the first cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) announced in December 2019 among the Chinese people in Wuhan city [1]. The determinants of the spread of the coronavirus are the mobile host (human) and the incubation period of the disease (Figure 1). This explains why quarantine measures are not successful in most countries of the world. The plan proposes to re-impose international led quarantine, including all travel, unless necessary, for a period not exceeding 45 days (figure 1). In this time, the quarantine must be launched simultaneously in all countries of the world.
