⁉️The December, 2019 coronavirus disease outbreak has seen many countries ask people who have potentially come into contact with the infection to isolate themselves at home or in a dedicated quarantine facility. Decisions on how to apply quarantine should be based on the best available evidence. We did a Review of the psychological impact of quarantine using three electronic databases.
⚠️ Most reviewed studies reported negative psychological effects including post-traumatic stress symptoms, confusion, and anger.
⚠️ Stressors included longer quarantine duration, infection fears, frustration, boredom, inadequate supplies, inadequate information, financial loss, and stigma. Some researchers have suggested long-lasting effects.
🚫 In situations where quarantine is deemed necessary, officials should quarantine individuals for no longer than required.
❎ Appeals to altruism by reminding the public about the benefits of quarantine to wider society can be favourable.
