Overview of Quarantine Facilities in Namibia

Quarantines in Namibia are placed on the movement of birds during epidemics in an effort to curtail the spread of the virus, which has further economic consequences.

Quarantine facilities allows for physical separation of persons or animals by species to prevent interspecies disease transmission, and is usually accomplished by housing different species in separate rooms

Keeping in mind that not all institutions are blessed with perfectly designed quarantine areas, or the resources or even the scientific demand to dedicate one to full-time use, there are times when objectives must be accomplished within the scope of the resources available.

In this case, the availability of programs and other infrastructure to compensate for inadequate space or design becomes the key determinant in the success of the program, and often depends upon staff making a challenging situation work through strict adherence to effective standard operating procedures.

Given these considerations, there are three general options for quarantine layout: a single room, a suite of rooms or a suite of cubicles.
