To understand the importance of self-quarantining during this modern-day EUROPE pandemic, it’s helpful to look back to the history of the word “quarantine” itself, which traces its origins to medieval Europe.

The word “quarantine” has Italian roots: in an effort to protect coastal cities from the Black Death ravaging 14th-Century Europe, ships arriving in Venice from infected ports were required to sit at anchor for 40 days (quaranta giorni) before landing, a practice that eventually became known as quarantine – derived from ‘quarantino’, the Italian word for a 40-day period. Venice that stated all ships and passengers had to be stationed on the nearby island of San Lazzaro until the special health council gave them permission to enter the city.“This led to the discrimination of ships and travellers from certain countries as well as other wrongdoing that was occurring in Venice regularly,” writes co-author Ante Milošević, PhD, in Lazaretto in Dubrovnik: The Beginning of the Quarantine Regulation in Europe. Co-author Ana Bakija-Konsuo, MD- PhD, added that Dubrovnik was the first Mediterranean port to sequester people, animals and merchandise coming from infected areas by sea or land, keeping them separate from the healthy population, while Venice stopped all ships and trade, halting life in the city.
