Title: Symptom-Based Isolation Policies: Evidence from a Mathematical Model of Outbreaks of Influenza and COVID-19 Document date: 2020_3_30
ID: d13j2pt5_11
Snippet: We considered the effect of several control policies, most importantly symptom-based isolation for one or more days, but also use of smaller class sizes and vaccination. We also evaluated stricter compliance, which could include remote monitoring, penalty for non-compliance and help in maintaining home isolation. We also considered greater symptom monitoring as could be achieved through education and providing thermometers. Further details on the.....
Document: We considered the effect of several control policies, most importantly symptom-based isolation for one or more days, but also use of smaller class sizes and vaccination. We also evaluated stricter compliance, which could include remote monitoring, penalty for non-compliance and help in maintaining home isolation. We also considered greater symptom monitoring as could be achieved through education and providing thermometers. Further details on the model, including the equations and the parameter values are provided in Appendix A. The model was validated in several well-monitored influenza outbreaks in schools -an outbreak of 2009 pandemic influenza in a UK boarding school [43] and a US elementary school [44] , as well as a seasonal influenza outbreak in a UK school in 2015 [45] .
