quarantine measures

Measures taken to isolate patients to prevent them from infecting others. Generally, different isolation measures are taken according to the infection degree and transmission route of various diseases.

Strictly isolate highly infectious diseases such as cholera, plague and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS); Used for infectious diseases spread by droplets in the air, such as influenza, epidemic encephalitis, tuberculosis, etc. , respiratory isolation should be adopted; Adopt digestive tract isolation or bedside isolation for digestive tract infectious diseases such as bacillary dysentery, typhoid fever and hepatitis A; Take contact isolation for skin anthrax, tetanus, gas gangrene and other contact-borne diseases; Insect-borne diseases such as malaria, typhus, Japanese encephalitis, epidemic hemorrhagic fever, etc. Isolated by insects.

The isolation time should be based on the longest infection period of infectious diseases. In principle, patients are not contagious and cannot infect others. In addition to patients with infectious diseases, people who come into contact with patients with infectious diseases should also be observed in isolation, which is called observation. During the detention, if the contact is sick, it should be isolated and treated immediately. If the contact is not sick, the isolation can be lifted after the observation period expires. The observation period should be calculated according to the longest incubation period of infectious diseases.

"Isolation" as mentioned in the Quarantine Law refers to taking infected persons to designated places, restricting their activities and treating them until the danger of spreading infectious diseases is eliminated.
