What is the difference between Quarantine vs Contact Tracer?

AspectQuarantine
AspectContact Tracer

Quarantine involves isolating individuals who may have been exposed to a contagious disease to prevent its spread, often requiring self-isolation for a specified period. Contact Tracers identify and notify individuals who have been in close contact with confirmed cases, helping to contain outbreaks. While both roles are crucial in disease control, quarantine is a broader public health measure, whereas contact tracing is a targeted activity within that process.
