    Snippet: Policy makers facing an epidemic must also consider the expected performance of interventions, since the effectiveness of targeted control policies will depend on their feasibility within a particular healthcare system.

    Document: Policy makers facing an epidemic must also consider the expected performance of interventions, since the effectiveness of targeted control policies will depend on their feasibility within a particular healthcare system. Generally, we found the benefit of quarantine over symptom monitoring increases with better intervention performance (i.e. larger fraction of contacts traced ( !" ), better isolation effectiveness ( ), and shorter delays in tracing a contact ( !! ) (Fig 4) . However, the effectiveness of symptom monitoring approached that of quarantine when the delay between symptom onset and isolation ( !" ) is shortened, due either to more frequent symptom monitoring or more sensitive detection of symptoms followed by prompt isolation.
