quarantine camp
Contagion containment site
A quarantine camp is a facility where people are isolated to prevent the spread of infectious disease.
Historically these ranged from humane medical stations to prison-like compounds.
The term gained fresh currency during COVID-19, when government-run isolation facilities drew criticism from those who saw them as overreach: They're building quarantine camps for travelers.
