Italian term

Lazzaretto

Italian to English Medical Medical (general)
Ciao a tutti,

I am stuck on this term taken from a hospital website. It is part of a college assignment. Would "lazaret " function as a faithful translation?

ST:

La storia
Una prima Opera Pia Ebraica nasce a Roma nel 1600 con lo scopo di provvedere un minimo di assistenza sanitaria alla popolazione israelitica romana, privata, dalle norme sulla reclusione nel ghetto, dell'accesso agli ospedali di allora. L'Opera, nella sua forma di assistenza prevalentemente domiciliare, durò fino al 1884.
In prossimità dell'epidemia di colera del 1834, le autorità del tempo, temendo la diffusione del contagio, concessero solo temporaneamente l'istituzione di un Lazzaretto per gli ebrei romani, nel Palazzo Cenci. Solo dopo il 1884 l’amministrazione di Roma decise di dare in concessione alla Comunità Ebraica per un Ospedale, il vecchio Convento vicino alla Chiesa di San Bartolomeo.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

@ Luigi quarantine or isolation station is correct (and more understandable) now though "lazaretto" may be used in a historical document.
