What is the difference? Social Distancing, Isolation and Quarantine.



What is Social Distancing?

This is keeping your distance from another person. Social distancing should be practiced by everyone infected or not infected.

Social Distancing includes:
  • Avoiding Handshakes
  • Avoiding Crowds
  • Keeping at least 2meters away from people while outside
  • Last but not least staying at home.

What is Isolation?

This is to stop the infected people to spread the virus to healthy people. Isolation means completely staying away from other people only your caretaker can see provided that they have personal protective equipment.

There is a special wing for that in many modern hospitals. This can be done for at least 14 days in the case of COVID-19 infection or until it is confirmed that you are completely free of the virus.

What is Quarantine?

This is a lot like Isolation but for a group of people. And it is a preventive method. Quarantine is used when a group of people is suspected of being exposed. By restricting their movement we can decrease the chance of them spreading the disease. Quarantined people are kept until they clear of the contagious diseases they suspected of.

In this post, I tried to explain briefly about the difference between Social distancing, Isolation, and Quarantine.
