Are we considered to observe i'tikaf when we are in quarantine at home?

I told a friend that we will not be able to do Itikaf for the last 10 days this year. He said to me, "We will be in Itikaf at home for 30 days this year, inshaallah." We are in normal quarantine, when Ramadan come, we will focus on our prayers. Do we count in Itikaf?

Itikaf takes place in a mosque where prayers are performed. Such is the rule for men. Mandatory stay at home, if it is evaluated well, will be like itikaf, insha'Allah.
