Snippet: A key strategy to controlling the spread of infectious diseases focuses on tracing the contacts of infected individuals, with the goal of limiting subsequent spread should those contacts become infectious. Here, we present the first study comparing the effectiveness of the two primary non-pharmaceutical interventions targeted via contact tracing: symptom monitoring and quarantine.

Document: A key strategy to controlling the spread of infectious diseases focuses on tracing the contacts of infected individuals, with the goal of limiting subsequent spread should those contacts become infectious. Here, we present the first study comparing the effectiveness of the two primary non-pharmaceutical interventions targeted via contact tracing: symptom monitoring and quarantine. We show that the interventions are not equivalent and that the choice of which intervention to implement to achieve optimal control depends on the natural history of the infectious disease, its inherent transmissibility, and the intervention feasibility in the particular healthcare setting.
