What is quarantine program?

A quarantine program is a public health measure designed to prevent the spread of Infectious Diseases by isolating individuals or groups who may have been exposed to a contagious pathogen. This can involve separating these individuals from the general population for a specified period, allowing health authorities to monitor for symptoms and reduce transmission risk. Quarantine is often implemented during outbreaks of diseases like COVID-19 or Ebola to protect public health.
