Starting in December 2019 in Wuhan Municipal Health Commission, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has crossed the borders forming a pandemic in 2020. The absence of pharmacological interventions has pushed governments to apply different sets of old, non-pharmacological interventions, which are, though temporary, helpful to prevent further pandemic propagation. In the context of COVID-19, research confirms that quarantine is useful, mainly if applied early and if combined with other public health measures. However, the efficacy of quarantine and isolation is limited in many ways, ranging from legal issues and suspension of economic activities to mental health considerations. This chapter is an exploration of (i) epidemiological impact of isolation and quarantine; (ii) emotional impact of isolation and quarantine; and (iii) the possible effect of culture on quarantine experience.
自 2019 年 12 月起，在中国武汉市卫生健康委员会，2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）已经跨越国界，在 2020 年形成了大流行。由于缺乏药物干预措施，各国政府被迫采取了一系列旧的非药物干预措施，这些措施虽然是暂时的，但有助于防止疫情进一步蔓延。在 COVID-19 背景下，研究证实隔离是有用的，主要是如果及早应用，并与其他公共卫生措施结合使用。然而，隔离和检疫的效果在许多方面受到限制，包括法律问题、经济活动暂停以及对心理健康的考虑。本章探讨了（i）隔离和检疫的流行病学影响；（ii）隔离和检疫的情绪影响；以及（iii）文化对检疫体验的可能影响。
