Quarantine has been used to contain diseases. For example, if a hospital gets a case of SARS, which is a very contagious respiratory disease, they'll go on quarantine. No one in, no one out until it's dealt with.
Quarantine can be applied at home too, but it basically just means, keeping the sick person in your house so they can't give their cold to anyone else. That's why several businesses recommend that their employees stay home when they're sick. It isn't out of interest for the employee's well being, it's because they don't want the employee getting everyone else sick!
Also, good hygiene. Wash hands, keep yourself clean. Kill germs that way they can't spread.
Basically, just apply common sense.
Now, when the disease is a serious one, like Ebola, which is a viral hemorrhagic fever, the CDC would probably get involved. I'm not going to go into that too much, because I'm guessing, hoping, that you don't have to deal with Ebola. And if you do deal with Ebola, you should know how to deal with it and not have to ask the question on this site!

Why is it better to use the term transmission when describing how diseases are spread rather than saying passed from person to person?
Using the term "transmission" is more accurate because it includes all possible mechanisms by which diseases can be spread, such as through air, water, or vector-borne routes, not just exclusively person-to-person. It also helps to convey the idea that diseases can be transmitted in various ways beyond direct contact between individuals.
