Your response must include the following:
1) What are some ethical principles that should be considered?
2) Of the ones that you have researched, select one and explain why that principle is important to medical and public health officials.
3) What are some issues that may arise if these principles are not applied when implementing quarantine?
Initial Response:

- Students should analyze course concepts, theories or materials correctly, using examples or supporting evidence.
- Initial responses should be supported by at least two references (APA referencing format is not required for discussions)
