===About Quarantine===
: [[Quarantine]] is used when a highly [[infectious]] [[pathogen]] or a deadly [[pathogen]] has [[infected]] an [[organism]].
: [[Quarantine]] involves placing the [[infected]] [[organism]] into a room alone. The [[air]] into and out of the room is filtered to prevent the spread of airborne [[pathogen]]s spreading and anyone who enters the room wears protective clothing and washes thoroughly when leaving the room. Any equipment taken out of the room is [[disinfected]] and [[antiseptic]]s are used by the person leaving the room to wash their skin.
