[Passed] Quarantine Regulation

[Adytus]

Description: The World Assembly,

Understanding that there are many communicable diseases which spread easily if they are not treated hastily;

Noting that there are times when some communicable diseases cannot be treated hastily;

Realizing that such diseases should instead be promptly contained to prevent an international epidemic;

Hereby

1) Tasks the Epidemic and Pandemic Alert and Response Center to define as a "serious disease" any disease which is harmful and contagious enough to create the need of a quarantine in the case of an outbreak of the disease;

2) Defines, for the purposes of this resolution:

an "epidemic" as a time, in a nation, when there are enough people with the same serious disease(as defined by the EPARC) to significantly decrease the nation's functioning and/or well-being;

an "infected person" as any person with a serious disease in a nation undergoing an epidemic of that disease;

a "quarantine" as any area where infected persons are kept in isolation in order to halt the spread of the disease;

a "treatment" as any action done to an infected person with the purpose of:

curing the infected person;

rendering the infected person non-contagious;

ensuring the infected person does not undergo any unnecessary harm; and/or

ensuring the infected person is not deprived of any necessities a non-infected person would normally receive;

3) Urges that all member nations, in the event of an epidemic in their nation, screen for any infected persons in that nation not yet known to be infected;

4) Requires that all member nations, to the best of their capability:

create at least one quarantine per epidemic in the nation;

move all infected persons into the appropriate quarantine that is nearest to their current location;

provide every treatment to all infected persons that are in a quarantine while taking any available precaution to ensure that the people administering these treatments are not infected;

move anyone that ceases to be an infected person out of the quarantine;

disband any quarantine that ceases to be of use; and

5) Mandates that the EPARC cover the costs of the requirements in clause 4 for any member nation that has difficulty maintaining quarantines.
