History of Quarantine
In the fourteenth century, to protect cities from plague epidemics, ships arriving in Venice from infected ports had to sit at anchor for forty days before landing.
“Quarantine” is derived from the Latin word quaresma, meaning forty.

What is the Difference Between Isolation and Quarantine?
An isolated person is known to be contaminated or infected
A quarantined person is suspected of being exposed but it is not known for sure whether they will go on to develop disease and become infectious themselves
![Page 10: 1 Isolation and Quarantine Protocol Public Health Seattle and King County 2004.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/55141f55550346e7488b5717/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

What is Voluntary Compliance?
Voluntary compliance with isolation or quarantine means a patient cooperates and complies with Public Health’s instructions to separate themselves from others in order to prevent the spread of disease.
![Page 11: 1 Isolation and Quarantine Protocol Public Health Seattle and King County 2004.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/55141f55550346e7488b5717/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

What is Involuntary Detention? This is what Public Health will pursue if
patients do not voluntarily comply with an isolation or quarantine order.

response? At what point in the process do they play
a role and what is that role?

When Public Health takes the action of isolating or quarantining then everyone involved becomes part of the legal process.
