The Bubonic Plague (the most common kind) comes from the fleas that live on rats. Good hygiene and a clean, rat-free house/environment pretty much means you're safe from this type of plague.

The pneumonic plague, which is way more severe, is passed from person to person by coughing. People often die within 2 days of contracting this disease unless treated immediately. In modern days, if someone is diagnosed with the plague, they're isolated in a hospital and given antibiotics, and have a pretty good chance at survival. I'm assuming the people who've come in contact with them would receive treatment too.

In the Middle Ages, people didn't have this kind of knowledge and they didn't really take the proper preventative steps to protect themselves from the plague. One notable case of someone successfully protecting himself from the Black Death during that time was a certain Pope. He sat between two fires in an isolated room, because he thought the fires had mystic properties that would help him, according to the medical beliefs at the time. Well, turns out the heat of the fire may have made rats too uncomfortable to stay near him, so he was never exposed to the plague-carrying fleas.

1) Get far from people who have it, (2) isolate people who have it for there good and the good of others, (3) spend a lot of money in order to hire top doctors and physicians in order to develop a cure, (4) if you have a cure, be world known and give them the cure after making copies of the cure, (5) or if you do not find a cure, then watch them die in horrible pain without being able to do anything about it, and then burn their bodies to prevent a contagion.

To be cured from the bubonic plague you can use antibiodics. In the previous bubonic plagues when it was a plague there was no cure.
