quarantine laws
Mandatory seclusion rules
Quarantine laws are regulations authorizing the isolation of people, animals, or goods to prevent the spread of disease.
Governments invoke them during epidemics to restrict movement, mandate testing, or enforce separation of the infected from the healthy: The city's quarantine laws kept ships in harbor for forty days.
The term extends to agricultural quarantines restricting plant and animal imports.
