Answer and Explanation:
Quarantine refers to a process in which people are isolated due to the possibility of spreading a disease. This is done to protect both the people who are in quarantine and the people that don't have the symptoms of a given disease. Mandatory quarantine refers to the legal process of people being unable to leave quarantine no matter the circumstance.
Although mandatory quarantines has many benefits as it prevents the public from being exposed to pathogens, it can have negative consequences. For example, there have been many cases in which children are left alone and isolated from parents due to the possibility of having a disease. Some professionals suggest children or parents to be able to be in quarantine at home. However, it is not as safe as other methods and mandatory quarantine is a legal procedure.
