The Emergence Process of Quarantine Application According to the Western Sources

Summary/Abstract: The quarantine, known as an application of the modern era, must go back to the medieval times when the emergence period is considered. The development that revealed the quarantine originating in Italy in terms of name and origin was the Black Death process. During the Black Death, one of the biggest pandemics in history and destroying millions in Europe, the isolation policies that were tried to be developed in the Italian city states started the quarantine process. After these developments, which can be considered as the pioneering steps of quarantine application, by 1377, a legal legislation was prepared by determining the quarantine policy for the first time. As a result of the suggestions of Ragusa's (today's Dubrovnik) chief physician Jacob of Padua, the Grand Council passed the law stating the launch of the quarantine application for the first time on July 27, 1377 for thirty days. Understanding that the isolation applied by the state cuts the pace of the epidemic was the development that started the quarantine process permanently. Increasing the isolation process from thirty to forty days after a short time enabled the quarantine to become a standard practice in terms of name and concept and move it to the modern period. At this point, the research focuses on explaining the process leading to quarantine application and when, where, how and why this application was launched chronologically.
