Schematic diagram of the relationship among the time of attack, time of recovery, and TOI. Legend: a When a patient’s time of attack is earlier than the TOI, if he recovers before isolation, he will not be isolated. b When a patient’s time of attack is earlier than the TOI, if he does not recover before isolation is instated, he will be isolated at the TOI. c When a patient’s time of attack is later than the TOI but he recovers before isolation is instated, he will not be isolated. d When a patient’s time of attack is later than the TOI, if isolation is instated before the patient recovers, he will be isolated
