===Psychological impact=== [[File:Bell System Flu Quarantine.png|thumb|High tech communication brings cheer and encouragement]] Quarantine can have adverse psychological effects on the quarantined, including [[post-traumatic stress]], confusion, and anger. According to a "Rapid Review" published in [[The Lancet]] in response to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], "Stressors included longer quarantine duration, infection fears, frustration, boredom, inadequate supplies, inadequate information, financial loss, and stigma. Some researchers have suggested long-lasting effects. In situations where quarantine is deemed necessary, officials should quarantine individuals for no longer than required, provide clear rationale for quarantine and information about protocols, and ensure sufficient supplies are provided. Appeals to altruism by reminding the public about the benefits of quarantine to wider society can be favourable."<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.1016/S0140-6736(20)30460-8|title=The psychological impact of quarantine and how to reduce it: Rapid review of the evidence|year=2020|last1=Brooks|first1=Samantha K.|last2=Webster|first2=Rebecca K.|last3=Smith|first3=Louise E.|last4=Woodland|first4=Lisa|last5=Wessely|first5=Simon|last6=Greenberg|first6=Neil|last7=Rubin|first7=Gideon James|journal=The Lancet|volume=395|issue=10227|pages=912β920|pmid=32112714|pmc=7158942|doi-access=free}}</ref> Although youngsters appear to be less vulnerable to [[COVID-19]], the side effects of the pandemic can be devastating. Quarantine from the pandemic led to an increase the prevalence of violence in the family, depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Children and adolescents may be highly exposed to biopsycho[[social stress]]ors generated by the pandemic and once population's containment measures to reduce virus spread are required, they could be potentially affected by the disruption in daily life routine as a result of social isolation and their unseasoned ability to conceive and comprehend the short- and long-term consequences of this outbreak.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Spinelli |first1=Maria |last2=Lionetti |first2=Francesca |last3=Pastore |first3=Massimiliano |last4=Fasolo |first4=Mirco |title=Parents' Stress and Children's Psychological Problems in Families Facing the COVID-19 Outbreak in Italy |journal=Frontiers in Psychology |date=3 July 2020 |volume=11 |page=1713 |doi=10.3389/fpsyg.2020.01713 |pmc=7350926 |pmid=32719646 |doi-access=free }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Banerjee |first1=Debanjan |last2=Rai |first2=Mayank |title=Social isolation in Covid-19: The impact of loneliness |journal=The International Journal of Social Psychiatry |date=September 2020 |volume=66 |issue=6 |pages=525β527 |doi=10.1177/0020764020922269 |pmid=32349580 |pmc=7405628 }}</ref>
