If it behaves like other coronaviruses, there's a pretty good chance that it'll be circulating indefinitely. So at long as at-risk people haven't been infected, they'll need to isolate indefinitely.
As I see it, quarantines can only flatten the infection curve, so that healthcare resources don't get maxed out. And realistically, I doubt that any quarantine could be enforced long enough, and so remain effective long enough, to prevent eventual infection. The only hope is that, when they do get infected, adequate medical care will be available.
