Quarantine is a public health measure designed to isolate individuals who may have been exposed to a contagious disease, such as COVID-19, to prevent its spread. During quarantine, people stay in a designated location, often their homes, for a specific period, usually 14 days. They must avoid contact with others, even within their household, to monitor for symptoms and minimize transmission. This period allows for the incubation of the virus, ensuring that if individuals develop symptoms, they can be isolated promptly. Quarantine is a crucial tool to contain outbreaks, safeguard public health, and protect vulnerable populations from infectious diseases.
