abstract = {Despite the marked international variance in COVID-19 related public health strategies, several fundamentals remain critical for controlling the pandemic across all nations. Crucially, the management of suspected and confirmed cases and their close contacts is a key determinant of infection rates in a population[1].Therefore, an efficiently-operating test-trace-isolate system is of paramount importance to interrupt community transmission, with particular emphasis on providing support for isolation for a specified period (usually between 10 and 14 days across Europe). Drawing on analyses of international approaches to self-isolation measures[2], we distil five key insights for maximising public adherence to self-isolation in the European region.},
