Printer-friendly versionSend to friendPDF version

Washington's web site provides health agencies and providers specific information on issues related to implementing voluntary and involuntary isolation or quarantine. It is a concise, well-constructed guide to issues such as initiation of quarantine, communication with individuals who require quarantine, and processes for extending or removing individuals from quarantine. The site includes accessible links to simple forms and letter templates intended for use by a local health officer. Although the references on this site pertain specifically to Washington's legal requirements, this site and its contents would be an excellent guide for any state or local health agency that wished to educate and unify public response on isolation and quarantine.
