Abstract

The World Health Organization's recommended pandemic influenza interventions, based on limited data, vary by transmission pattern, pandemic phase, and illness severity and extent.In the pandemic alert period, recommendations include isolation of patients and quarantine of contacts, accompanied by antiviral therapy.During the pandemic period, the focus shifts to delaying spread and reducing effects through population-based measures.Ill persons should remain home when they first became symptomatic, but forced isolation and quarantine are ineffective and impractical.If the pandemic is severe, social distancing measures such as school closures should be considered.Nonessential domestic travel to affected areas should be deferred.Hand and respiratory hygiene should be routine; mask use should be based on setting and risk, and contaminated household surfaces should be disinfected.Additional research and field assessments during pandemics are essential to update recommendations.Legal authority and procedures for implementing interventions should be understood in advance and should respect cultural differences and human rights.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
