Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 lead to wide-spread quarantines and cancelations. The impact of these measures on other, noncoronavirus disease 2019 , infectious diseases was analyzed within Dane County, Wisconsin. The incidence of streptococcal pharyngitis and acute otitis media decreased during quarantine while gonorrhea increased. Quarantine had the expected result for infections spread via the respiratory route but a different effect from those transmitted through sexual activity.
