Quarantine protects people from the spread of highly contagious and dangerous diseases like pandemic flu. If you have been exposed to pandemic flu you may be quarantined or separated from others who have not been exposed. Quarantine benefits everyone, and works best when you and everyone who is asked to quarantine cooperates. This collective action may keep pandemic flu from spreading.
