The Lancet: The Psychological Impact of Quarantine and How to Reduce it: Rapid Review of the Evidence [en]
The December, 2019 coronavirus disease outbreak has seen many countries ask people who have potentially come into contact with the infection to isolate themselves at home or in a dedicated quarantine facility. Decisions on how to apply quarantine should be based on the best available evidence.
The Lancet did a review of the psychological impact of quarantine using three electronic databases. Of 3166 papers found, 24 are included in this review.

Stressors included longer quarantine duration, infection fears, frustration, boredom, inadequate supplies, inadequate information, financial loss, and stigma. Some researchers have suggested long-lasting effects.
