Article Synopsis
- Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) like self-quarantine and social distancing are essential for controlling infections such as COVID-19, especially when vaccines are unavailable.
- A significant factor in the success of these measures is individual and public perception, as personal choices can undermine government efforts, leading to severe outbreaks and health consequences.
- A new model combines COVID-19 transmission dynamics with a decision-making approach to analyze how social isolation strategies evolve over time, revealing that social distancing is more effective than self-quarantine in reducing disease burden.
