?Which word?
quarantine or isolation?
Quarantine is for people who may have been exposed to a disease but are not yet ill, to see if they develop it. Isolation is for people who are already ill, to keep them away from healthy people. The word comes from the Italian quaranta giorni, forty days, the period ships had to wait in Venice during the plague.
Quarantine उन लोगों के लिए है जो किसी बीमारी के संपर्क में आए हों पर अभी बीमार न हों, यह देखने के लिए कि बीमारी होती है या नहीं। Isolation उन लोगों के लिए है जो पहले से बीमार हैं, उन्हें स्वस्थ लोगों से दूर रखने के लिए। यह शब्द Italian quaranta giorni, चालीस दिन, से आया है, प्लेग के दौरान वेनिस में जहाज़ों को इतने दिन रुकना पड़ता था।
The quarantine/isolation distinction became widely known during the covid-19 pandemic (2020).
Quarantine और isolation का अंतर covid-19 महामारी (2020) के दौरान व्यापक रूप से जाना गया।
