Anyone who may be infected would be on quarantine to prevent anyone from catching that disease. Anyone who was in contact of a sick person will be on isolation, even if he/she hasn't caught the disease in case she/he maybe carrying the disease. Try to stay away from sick people and stay away from people who was in contact with that person.
