    Snippet: , which can be interpreted as the number of contacts that must be quarantined in order to prevent one additional case over symptom monitoring (an analog of "number needed to treat"). For the example of SARS, Day et al. propose that mass quarantine may be unnecessary because effective symptomatic isolation alone would sufficiently control the disease (hence placing the disease in quadrant III) (8) .

    Document: , which can be interpreted as the number of contacts that must be quarantined in order to prevent one additional case over symptom monitoring (an analog of "number needed to treat"). For the example of SARS, Day et al. propose that mass quarantine may be unnecessary because effective symptomatic isolation alone would sufficiently control the disease (hence placing the disease in quadrant III) (8) . In quadrant IV, where quarantine but not symptom monitoring can control the disease, quarantine would be strongly considered as the minimum sufficient strategy to prevent exponential epidemic growth.
