Disobedience to quarantine rule

Quarantine Rule-:

The term quarantine refers to strict isolation of someone to prevent the spread of the disease. Quarantine is used by the government to end the spreading of contagious diseases. Quarantines are for those people or groups who do not have symptoms of a disease, but they were exposed to the sickness. With the help of quarantine rule, these persons are kept away from others so that they don’t unknowingly
infect anyone.

According to section 271 of Indian penal code, if any person knowingly disobeys any rule which is made with the object of isolating the places where infectious disease is prevailing from other places, then such person will be held guilty under this provision. This section requires that there should be disobedience with knowledge of a rule that is made and promulgated by the government.

The person shall be punished with imprisonment up to six months, or fine, or both.

Quarantines may be used during:

  • Outbreaks: It is a situation when there is a sudden rise in the number of cases of the disease.
  • Epidemics: It is similar to outbreaks, but it is generally considered to be larger and more widespread.
  • Pandemics: These are vaster than epidemics, generally global in nature and affect more number of people.
