How do you say #YoMeQuedoEnCasa in French?

Le chat reste à la maison // The cat is staying home

Today is a first real day of the quarantine and of course people still walk around using every plausible excuse to do so. Normal, although not necessarily smart.

To my surprise, I can’t find unequivocal French equivalent for Spanish hashtag #YoMeQuedoEnCasa (I stay at home). There are two suitable ones — #OnResteALaMaison, we stay at home, and simply #ResteALaMaison, stay at home, but none of them is nearly as trending. Not sure what it says about who.

Here is the cat, staying home and looking quite pleased about it really.

Update: A Facebook friend just told me that there is also #Restecheztoi, which is an imperative form, so I am adding it here, too.
