“…We identified nine cost studies [11,14,15,17,[23][24][25][26][27], and four simulation studies relating to contact tracing and contact quarantine in outbreak scenarios [22,[36][37][38]. Tables 3 and 4 summarise the cost information from these studies (the original extracted data in original currencies and units can be found in the supplementary spreadsheet).…”

“…We included only studies where laboratory testing was combined with another NPI. We identified 11 costing studies that involved laboratory cost data, 4 of which were related to isolation of infectious cases [9,14,18,19] and 7 were related to contact tracing (Table 3) [11,15,17,[23][24][25]27].…”

Background Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) are the cornerstone of infectious disease outbreak response in the absence of effective pharmaceutical interventions. Outbreak strategies often involve combinations of NPIs that may change according to disease prevalence and population response. Little is known with regard to how costly each NPI is to implement. This information is essential to inform policy decisions for outbreak response. Objective To address this gap in existing literature, we conducted a systematic review on outbreak costings and simulation studies related to a number of NPI strategies, including isolating infected individuals, contact tracing and quarantine, and school closures. Methods Our search covered the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases, studies published between 1990 and 24 March 2020 were included. We included studies containing cost data for our NPIs of interest in pandemic, epidemic, and outbreak response scenarios. Results We identified 61 relevant studies. There was substantial heterogeneity in the cost components recorded for NPIs in outbreak costing studies. The direct costs of NPIs for which costing studies existed also ranged widely: isolating infected
