Covid positive query

Question

Asked for Male, 33 Years

I need help to understand what is the process in case a senior citizen is tested positive. Is it mandatory to get admitted in hospital even if there are no symptoms. He had throat infection and continuous hiccups since 10 days and hence doctor suggested for Covid test. Result is positive. Is self isolation better or directly getting admitted to hospital better. Kindly reply.
