Quarantine is the process of isolating people or objects that might be carrying contaminants such as diseases, chemicals or radioactivity. It is also the name given to the time period in such isolation while tests are conducted to find out if such contamination exists.

In Lost

The word "quarantine" was first seen printed on the hatch door to the Swan station. It was later also seen on the Arrow station entrance, but notably not on any other DHARMA stations.

The survivors of Flight 815 linked the word with the Sickness mentioned by Danielle Rousseau, as when Kate discussed Aaron possibly being sick in "Maternity Leave": "Claire thinks he's sick, as in 'quarantine' sick".

In "Live Together, Die Alone", Kelvin wore a biohazard suit, and told Desmond that the air outside the station was contaminated. He asked Desmond "You want to go out there with the quarantine and the Hostiles?" Desmond later learned that, when outside, removing the biohazard suit did not result in immediate harm.

In The Lost Experience

In a flat in St. Germain de Pres, France, Rachel Blake found a folder left for her by Darla Taft. Inside, amongst other items, she found schematics for a hospital ship, named the Helgus Antonius. She worryingly noted that the wards on the ships were marked "quarantined".

Jigsaw puzzle

The official Lost jigsaw puzzles contained a book code cipher on the back of one puzzle. After translating it using The Turn of the Screw, one message, written by Kelvin or Radzinsky, is "QUARANTINE IS A HOAX".
