At least in Europe it wasn't a major part of decisions. When it was published, it mostly corroborated what people here were already seeing, that urgent care facilities got - or were going to get - overwhelmed in a few weeks if contact tracing failed to contain close to all cases.
There is also a "control" group of sorts in us Swedes, as the Swedish health authority choose to act differently, initially. Their recommendation as of now is essentially equivalent to quarantine, except for non-adults. It's important to understand that it is really to instigate anything like a curfew in Sweden, at least unless we get attacked military by another country. The laws as they stand don't really allow that. So the government is also somewhat limited in what they can do.
The situation here is that urgent care has been overwhelmed for about a month, and a lot more people have died or been gravely ill than during even really bad flu seasons. We're also probably far from done yet, as it's much easier to get people to stay indoors when it's cold and rainy outside, and as its been getting warmer more people have been disrespecting the recommendations.
