Project Objectives
To determine (1) the effectiveness of different lengths of quarantine (e.g., > 10 days, ≤ 10days) in reducing transmission of COVID-19 in non-health care community-based settings; (2) the effectiveness of different lengths of isolation (e.g., > 10 days, ≤ 10days) in reducing transmission of COVID-19 in non-health care community-based settings; (3) the effectiveness of different lengths of quarantine (e.g., > 10 days, ≤ 10days) in reducing transmission of non-COVID-19 respiratory illnesses (e.g., influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)) in non-health care community-based settings; (4) the effectiveness of different lengths of isolation (e.g., > 10 days, ≤ 10days) in reducing transmission of non-COVID-19 respiratory illnesses (e.g., influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)) in non-health care community-based settings; (5) the impact of quarantine on other individual and societal outcomes (e.g., mental health, financial circumstances) in non-health care community-based settings; and (6) the impact of isolation on other individual and societal outcomes (e.g., mental health, financial circumstances) in non-health care community-based settings.
