A human influenza virus is considered the most likely source<SUP> </SUP>of a pandemic in the near future. Quarantine has the potential<SUP> </SUP>to be the most effective measure for limiting the spread of<SUP> </SUP>infection. The major obstacles to compliance for those asked<SUP> </SUP>to enter quarantine include loss of income during quarantine<SUP> </SUP>and loss of employment after quarantine. We discuss current<SUP> </SUP>antidiscrimination and compensation laws, as well as options<SUP> </SUP>to expand coverage for quarantined individuals to encourage<SUP> </SUP>public cooperation by guaranteeing job security and providing<SUP> </SUP>income replacement.
