为遏制新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行，卫生及政府当局已对全球社区实施全面自我隔离令。卫生官员认为，公众将有很高的遵守率。然而，研究表明，遵守家庭检疫的一个主要障碍是担心收入损失。于2020年2月最后一周，我们对以色列成年人口进行了一项横断面研究，以评估公众对COVID-19疫情的态度。特别是，根据损失的工资是否得到补偿，评估了公众自我隔离的遵守率。当假设补偿时，遵守率为94%。当补偿被取消时，遵守率下降到不到57%。这项研究表明，在自我隔离期间为人们提供生计保证是遵守公共卫生条例的一个重要组成部分。
To contain the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, health and government authorities have imposed sweeping self-quarantine orders for communities worldwide. Health officials assume that the public will have high rates of compliance. However, studies suggest that a major obstacle to compliance for household quarantine is concern about loss of income. A cross-sectional study of the adult population of Israel was conducted in the last week of February 2020 to assess public attitudes toward the COVID-19 outbreak. In particular, public compliance rates with self-quarantine were assessed, depending on whether lost wages would be compensated for. When compensation was assumed, the compliance rate was 94 percent. When compensation was removed, the compliance rate dropped to less than 57 percent. This study demonstrated that providing people with assurances about their livelihoods during self-quarantine is an important component of compliance with public health regulations.
