I am not sure this is or was the policy nation wide but I have mixed feelings on how useful it may have been. I understand that more panic would make things worse in the hospitals in areas that were not prepared for massive outbreak but on the other side I wonder if somebody may have taken it a little light. For example in the family of the person I know the youngest kid just cough a little for few days and never had a fever. If a young child is the first person in a family being infected, you may think it is nothing serious and they may still send the kid to school. It also did not help people making an informed decision about travelling in the area where supposedly only a handful of people had the virus.
