What you need to know about coronavirus quarantine and isolation orders

Both are essentially orders for a person to stay out of contact with
other people in an attempt to curb the spread of an infectious disease,
said Robert Belknap, an infectious disease doctor at Denver Health
[and associate professor of medicine at CU School of Medicine].
“Quarantine is when someone has been exposed to an illness that
could be contagious, but they’re not yet under suspicion for actually
having it,” Belknap said.
