They seem to have stopped that, a friend of mine was quarantined but not in an actual hospital, basically an interim solution. Not quite sure where. But all that for basically a sore throat. He might as well just isolate at home until symptoms have been away for a certain number of days. (can't remember the exact counts that most countries run with).

Secondly, it was odd that my wife, who lives under the same roof, wasn't considered a close contact (and then went and worked at the Olympics during that time)...
Yeah, quite odd setups.
