Quaratine

In 1892, the federal goverment required immagrants in Ellis Island to undergo a physical examination. If a person was found to have a contagious diease, they would go into quarantine. Quarantine is a time of isolation to prevent the spread of a diease. If a person got better they could leave and stay in America, but if they got sicker or stayed the same they would be asked to leave America.
