Abstract
In late 2019, a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was identified in Wuhan, a city in the Hubei province of
China. COVID-19 rapidly spread and led to an outbreak in China and then became a global health emergency.
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19), showed high transmission
capacity and morbidity. In this way, WHO suggests that the most efficient method for controlling transmission is
social isolation/quarantine to the population. Human and Swiss Webster Outbred stock, in both species we can
define a distress intersection point: abrupt break in routine and compromise in social relationships. For this reason,
we can observe in the Swiss Webster ethology various behavioral disturbances, such as family violence and
aggression exacerbated. In this review, we hope, through comparative behavioral analysis, to avoid, mitigate and
alleviate social stress in humans, mainly through procedures for raising animal welfare. In conclusion, we believed
that our knowledge of Mouse Lab ethology can be useful, since, by minimizing stress, the most rudimentary
emotions, similar between humans and mice, but concient-rationalized in the human and promote the improvement
of the human being's elevated quality of life, even in social isolation/quarantine.
