Box 2: Examples of ethical policy questions related to asymptomatic infection

Under what conditions, if any, should public health agencies:
– Screen apparently healthy people for infectious diseases?
– Make carriage reportable/notifiable?
– Monitor asymptomatic carriers?
– Isolate carriers or quarantine their contacts?
– Make public health measures for carriers mandatory?
– Implement travel bans for carriers?
– Compensate carriers subjected to public health measures?
