Snippet: Quarantine of potentially infected contacts during an epidemic is highly conservative with respect to efficacy, but it comes at a high cost. Costs associated with quarantine policies range from direct (e.g., implementation expenses and the restriction of personal liberties) to indirect (e.g., stigmatization of health workers and sometimes interruption of financial and trade markets) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) .

Document: Quarantine of potentially infected contacts during an epidemic is highly conservative with respect to efficacy, but it comes at a high cost. Costs associated with quarantine policies range from direct (e.g., implementation expenses and the restriction of personal liberties) to indirect (e.g., stigmatization of health workers and sometimes interruption of financial and trade markets) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) . A less conservative but substantially cheaper and more socially palatable approach is active symptom monitoring of contacts. In this strategy, health workers check on contacts one or two times a day and isolate them if symptoms occur (see definitions in Methods).
