Duration of quarantine in hospitalized patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection: a question needing an answer

Clinical features of the first cases and a cluster of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Bolivia imported from Italy and Spain

“…Then, the clinical evolution was favorable with no complications and no deaths among these patients. Early healthcare with appropriate training of healthcare works would be critical to keeping mostly this in a similar trend for future cases in the country that is now taken severe actions, such as home isolation and quarantine [51][52][53][54], primarily to protect those with risk factors. According to the National Institute of Statistics of Bolivia, for 2019, there were 11,513,101 inhabitants.…”

Mathematical model of infection kinetics and its analysis for COVID-19, SARS and MERS

“…Based on the complex network theory, Fan et al (2020)) established the SEIR dynamic model of 2019-ncov epidemic with incubation period, and predicted the epidemic inflection point through model parameter simulation.Based on Wuhan migration data, Yang et al (2020)) estimated the number of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan by the number of confirmed people and found that the rate of confirmed patients in 15 cities in Hubei province was lower than that in 35 cities outside the province in terms of the mean and median. Lombardi et al's research (Lombardi et al, 2020) showed that isolation of those affected and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) were the mainstay to block transmission of this pathogen, which was presumed through respiratory droplets. A 14 days quarantine was applied to subjects coming from endemic areas or who had contact with confirmed cases.…”

COVID-19 Epidemic in Switzerland: Growth Prediction and Containment Strategy Using Artificial Intelligence and Big Data

“…Another issue of our existing model is that hospitals and health care facilities are not specifically differentiated due to the unavailability of reliable data. There seems to be some indication 13 that, when health care facilities are overwhelmed by demand and have limited resources, these facilities themselves can become a hot zone of significant additional infections to staff and visitors. Once additional data become available, this limitation can be addressed in future work.…”
