The World Health Organization, WHO, has explained the difference between Quarantine and Isolation, defining quarantine as the separation of persons who are not ill, but have been exposed to a person infected with the COVID-19 virus, while Isolation is the separation of an infected person from others to prevent the spread of the virus.
In a tweet earlier today, Monday November 2, the global health body explained: “The objective of a quarantine is to monitor the health of contacts, to ensure early detection of COVID-19 cases amongst contacts and to prevent onward spread if the contact is infected.
“WHO recommends that people who are infected with the COVID-19 virus are isolated and those who are their contacts are in quarantine, to limit interactions with others for a period of time to limit onward spread”.
