quarantine laws

Quarantine laws are regulations designed to prevent the spread of contagious diseases by restricting the movement of people, animals, or goods that may carry harmful pathogens. When there's a potential health threat, authorities may require individuals or items to stay isolated or be inspected for a specified period, even if they feel healthy. These laws help protect public health by controlling outbreaks and preventing diseases from crossing borders or spreading within communities. Quarantine measures are based on scientific risk assessments and aim to balance safety with individual rights.
