quarantine station
Disease containment site
A quarantine station is a facility where travelers, animals, or goods are held for observation to prevent the spread of infectious disease.
Historically, ships arriving from disease-affected regions were required to anchor at quarantine stations before passengers could disembark: The immigrants spent two weeks at the quarantine station on the island.
