Taiwan used quarantine as 1 of numerous interventions implemented to control the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome in 2003. From March 18 to July 31, 2003, 147,526 persons were placed under quarantine. Quarantining only persons with known exposure to people infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome could have reduced the number of persons quarantined by approximately 64%. Focusing quarantine efforts on persons with known or suspected exposure can greatly decrease the number of persons placed under quarantine, without substantially compromising its yield and effectiveness.
台湾将隔离作为2003年为控制严重急性呼吸综合征疫情而实施的众多干预措施之一。在2003年3月18日至7月31日期间,有147,526人被隔离。仅对已知接触过严重急性呼吸综合征感染者的人员进行隔离,可能会使被隔离人数减少约64%。将隔离工作重点放在已知或疑似接触者身上,可以大幅减少被隔离的人数,而不会对其成效和有效性造成实质性影响。
