  In this work, we inspect the reliability of controlling and quelling an
epidemic disease mimicked by a Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) model
defined on a complex network by means of current and implementable quarantine
and isolation policies. Specifically, we consider that each individual in the
network is originally linked to two types of individuals: members of the same
household and acquaintances. The topology of this network evolves taking into
account a probability $q$ that aims at representing the quarantine or isolation
process in which the connection with acquaintances is disrupted according to
standard policies of control of epidemics. Within current policies of
self-isolation and standard infection rates, our results show that the
propagation is either only controllable for hypothetical rates of compliance or
uncontrollable at all.
