The smart thing would be for aid agencies that send workers to these hot spots to pay for their employees to stay in a nice quite "resort" somewhere for a month on their return for them to relax and as a thankyou for their efforts. And to deflect growing negative public opinion about the risks returning aid workers pose. Needless to say the "resort" could have daily health checks and minimal contact between people but could otherwise be quite pleasant.

That strategy certainly worked for the Venetians. Merchant ships had to chill off shore for 40 days before unloading their cargo to make sure no one harbored deadly diseases. Hence the quarter in quarantine.
