Just following on loosely from Ayla's Strangles thread...
Does your yard have an isolation policy for in-coming horses?

Not really, first yard i was on you had to keep them in for 2 weeks but the horses could touch over stable walls, plus people went to touch new horses so it didn't really work.
2nd yard none at all could turn out straight away, however they had individual paddocks but could touch over the fence. I now have my own place and do seperate any new horses i get like the one i got yest she can see my other horses but they cant touch each other and in a weeks time will let them near each other.

We do, 2 weeks in separate stable and field not adjoining any others or stables. Not allowed to touch or go near the new horses in this period

Yes - they spend two weeks in a paddock where they can see but can't touch any of the other horses. Is a strict rule following strangles in one horse which shut the yard down for over 2 months one summer. 2 weeks is better than nothing.
