This guidance complements and expands on the Inter-Agency Guidance on Home Quarantine & Isolation in Overcrowded Settings to ensure that special consideration is given for children and adults who usually have a caregiver (older person, persons with disabilities, and persons with serious medical condition or mental health concerns) during quarantine, isolation or hospitalization. The guidance includes measures to take to prevent separation from caregivers, and to ensure that when separation cannot be avoided, special arrangements are in place to prevent neglect, exploitation, abuse or any other form of harm. This guidance applies to all nationality groups in Informal Settlements (IS), Collective Shelters (CS), and urban settings. This guidance has been designed to: guide all actors involved in isolation decisions and process, especially health responders, security forces and communities to key considerations for potential situations of family separation including what they should consider and when to involve case management agencies; and guide child protection, SGBV, and protection case management agencies on steps to consider if children, caregivers, or adults who need a caregiver are at risk of separation due to isolation or quarantine measures.
