Who proposed quarantine hundreds of years ago?
The virus is known as COVID-19 (coronavirus), which emerged in Wuhan, China last December has spread to at least 200 countries and regions around the globe. Confirmed infection cases are nearly 3.5 million while 207,009 people have died due to the fatal virus. Health experts suggest a quarantine is among the most effective ways to control the spread of the novel coronavirus pandemic and to limit its impact on populations across the globe. Due to the pandemic of coronavirus, today everyone knows what quarantine is.

Who proposed the quarantine hundreds of years ago?
The Muslim polymath Ibn Sina, a father figure of early modern medicine, introduced the concept of quarantine a thousand years ago. While historians are uncertain about the origins of sanitary isolation, with records found in the Old Testament and in the life of the prophet Muhammad (Peace Be upon Him) they do agree that quarantine, as it is known today, would not have been developed without the work of the Muslim polymath Ibn Sina (980-1037), known as Avicenna.

Father figure of early modern medicine, Ibn Sina argued for the use of quarantine to control the spread of disease in his five-volume medical encyclopedia “The Canon of Medicine,” originally published in 1025. He explained that disease can spread through very small particles that cannot be seen with the naked eye, a discovery that was proven centuries later, after the invention of the microscope.

Ibn Sina was first to discover that germs caused disease. He explained the reasons and the processes of how humans develop jaundice and serious bacterial infections like charbon. He used the technique of sedation while curing some life-threatening interior diseases. He also invented the method of diagnosing diabetes by measuring the sugar rate in urine samples. Despite his awe-inspiring healing skills, many historians say he never charged for his medical services.
