Quarantine is a legally mandated separation from the rest of society. People in a few other countries were formally quarantined when they had flu symptoms in the initial phases of the A-H1N1/09 pandemic. The US did not force people into quarantine during the pandemic, however, and relied on public education with widely available information about protecting yourself and others from the flu.

Separation, however, was highly recommended as one of the only safeguards before vaccination was available. People were advised to stay home and at least 6 feet away from others who may have or may get the flu. Other than vaccination now available, that is still the best way to avoid the flu.
