Percentage of known coronavirus disease cases quarantined by date, Faroe Islands. During March 3–12, 2020, no cases were quarantined because no previous infection was diagnosed in the Faroe Islands and travel quarantine was not enforced yet. After March 12, most cases were quarantined, either as a result of recent travel or close contact with a positive case. However, some nonquarantined cases persisted and an unquarantined case was identified on April 3.
