Document: The global burden of emerging infectious diseases is growing and prompts the need for effective containment policies (1) (2) (3) . In many cases, strategies must be nonpharmaceutical, as targeted drugs or vaccines for the pathogens are unavailable. Among the various containment strategies, isolation of ill and potentially infectious patients is one of the most intuitive, relying on the tracing the contacts of known cases. Contacts with symptoms can then be hospitalized or isolated, but policy makers must also decide how best to handle contacts that do not meet the case definition for infection. Two strategies have historically been used in the case of a potentially infected but symptom-free contact: quarantine and symptom monitoring.
