The propagation of Infectious Diseases is very dreadful. It is not easy to detect through whom and where Infectious diseases start. Due to traffic development, these days, viral infectious diseases that weren’t known in Korea in the past sometimes emerge in Korea, that is, probability to be propagated by certain viral infectious disease is getting bigger and bigger. The prevention of infectious diseases should be thoroughly blocked before they are introduced, nevertheless, when introduced, the government has a duty and responsibility to prevent them from spreading as soon as possible. There may be a terrible case that a certain infectious disease is spreading all over the world. Of course, in this case, cooperation between countries becomes more and more important than ever. But even in this situation, the nation’s role should not decrease. Quarantine Law in Korea says that the government can take a quarantine measures to minimize the risk of infection. So the government can isolated questionable people with the risk of infection as well as people with the risk of infection. Quarantine or Isolation is a quite effective measures to prevent the viral infectious disease, however, it allows all subjects’ right of freedom to be restricted. So, in any case that a infectious disease is spreading quickly, the probability for subjects to be isolated unreasonably or preposterously can probably happen. In this paper, I’ll consider and discuss about the harmony between Public Health and Human Rights through quarantine or isolation.
