Quarantine: From Dubrovnik to COVID-19
Quarantine, as a concept, had to be invented and historically began in the Adriatic Sea, where merchants encountered mysterious diseases during trade. Dubrovnik, formerly known as Raghousa, was one of the first places to pass quarantine regulations in the 14th century amidst the arrival of the bubonic plague in Europe. Quarantine lasted 40 days and was chosen due to its religious significance. Historically, quarantine facilities were often leaky, leading to increased privileges for wealthier individuals who could afford better conditions. Quarantine inspired literature and even quarantine erotica in the 1800s. During the COVID-19 pandemic, quarantine played a crucial role in preventing the spread of the virus and studies showed that early and long-lasting quarantine measures were effective in reducing illness. However, the implementation of quarantine policies was often uneven, leading to unequal access and impact on various populations. Future research will continue to analyze the effectiveness and impact of quarantine measures during the pandemic.
