As COVID-19 pandemic fears grow, experts explain what quarantine, isolation and social distancing would entail in the U.S.
While U.S. officials are unlikely to impose the stringent regulations seen in China, there are many questions and concerns around the idea of quarantine here. One big question is how it would be enforced.
Katz believes a big issue with quarantine in the U.S. is the way people view it, which can create a sense of shame and take away any incentives to comply. Continuing with the jury duty analogy, she noted that states should do whatever they can to make the process as painless as possible ― like creating laws to protect the jobs of people under quarantine, as we do with jurors stuck on lengthy trials, or even offering financial compensation.
“Basically, this means no one gets out,” Reingold explained. “There’s an infection in a certain community or city, so they won’t let anyone out to spread the infection elsewhere. In theory, another possibility is called preventive sequestration, which some villages and small towns did in 1918. They didn’t have any of the illness in their towns, so they set up barriers and wouldn’t let anyone in. That way, no one could bring the disease. But it poses challenges.
