Barbara Nußbaumer-Streit summarizes a Cochrane rapid review on the effectiveness of quarantine in controlling the spread of COVID-19.
We have published an update to the rapid review assessing the effectiveness of quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, author Barbara Nußbaumer-Streit summarizes evidence available from studies that show how quarantine affects the spread of COVID-19. The studies included in the review consistently conclude that quarantine can play a role in controlling the spread of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. While early implementation of quarantine and its combination with other public health measures helps to ensure effectiveness, key uncertainties remain as to how these measures can best be adopted and when they can be relaxed.
