Paragraph on Quarantine
Quarantine is a strict isolation
imposed to prevent the spread of disease. Quarantine has been used for
centuries. It is an ancient tool used to prevent the spread of disease. At that
time, persons with leprosy were quarantined in a cave. The practice was used
widely in 14th-century Europe to control the spread of bubonic and pneumonic
plague. The outbreak of Covid-19 has made us familiar with this term. There are
two types of quarantine - home quarantine and institutional quarantine. In-home
quarantine, people are locked down within their houses, and the community is
engaged to watch over them. It is done when a person willingly separates
himself and his family members from the community. In institutional quarantine,
people are kept in a place arranged by the government. This is usually done for
a large number of people returning from foreign countries severely affected by
Covid-19. The main problem with quarantine is that persons under quarantine are
often detained without regard to their essential needs. Besides, populations
targeted for quarantine, such as foreigners, are stigmatized. Quarantine can be
a highly effective tool in preventing the spread of contagious diseases like
COVID-19 if properly applied and practiced according to modern public health
principles. It may play an especially important role when vaccination or
preventive treatment is not possible.
