quarantine and isolation  

Définition

  • Quarantine and isolation are two different ways to limit the spread of certain infectious diseases by reducing contact between individuals at risk of spreading infectious disease and the rest of the population. The types of diseases for which quarantine and isolation are useful public health measures are those that involve direct transmission of infection by close contact (e.g., aerosol or droplet transmission).
