By: Fernando Fajardo - 3 months ago

President Rodrigo Duterte has declared the entire island

of Luzon under enhanced community quarantine effective
yesterday.

First, what is the meaning of quarantine?

Quarantine is a state or place of isolation for a person (or animal)

who may have been exposed to contagious diseases. The objective
of isolation is to lower the chance that person or animal could
transfer illnesses to others.

In practice, non-sick people maybe also quarantined as healthy

looking people could still spread a pathogen without ever knowing
they were carriers. This usually happens to people suspected of
having contact with sick people or come from areas where a virus
had been known to inflict many people.
