ISOLATION refers to a person or place to be or remain alone or apart from others. QUARANTINE is a restriction on the movement of people and goods which is intended to prevent the spread of disease and pest. Lastly, SOCIAL DISTANCING is the practice of maintaining a greater than usual physical distance from other people or of avoiding direct contact with other people or objects in public places during the outbreak of a contagious disease to minimize exposure.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has asked that we all practice these actions over the next few weeks to ensure your health and safety. As students of learning, take this opportunity to read and study, as you do your part to help stop the spread of COVID-19. CNN released an article recently of a Kentucky man who has been diagnosed with the Coronavirus, but refuses to be quarantined. In an effort to keep the man from spreading the virus to others, deputies have surrounded his home.
