staying home
Keeping indoors today
Staying home means remaining at one's residence rather than going out.
The phrase implies a deliberate choice or necessity: I'm staying home tonight suggests declining social plans, while staying home from work indicates illness or other circumstance.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, staying home became a public health directive.
The variant staying in carries the same meaning with slightly more casual tone.
