In December 2019, the first case of COVID-19 was reported in the Chinese city of Wuhan and within months had resulted in an unprecedented global pandemic. Transmitted through close contact and via droplets, a cornerstone of the global efforts adopted against the virus has been social distancing and various forms of quarantine (1). The word ‘quarantine’ comes from the Italian word ‘quaranta’ for ‘40’. This originated in 1377 when the Rector of the Venetian-controlled city of Ragusa declared a 40-day isolation period for land travellers during a plague epidemic (2). However, the origin of quarantining as a practice to control the spread of disease can be traced much earlier, with examples seen in the Old Testament of the Bible (regarding the separation of people afflicted with leprosy), and 2500 years ago during the time of the Greek physician, Hippocrates (3).
