Abstract: By studying the history of civilization, we can see that human beings can take steps in the development and evolution of their civilization if they consider the collective interest and consider modern moral frameworks in their policies. In this regard, the history of pandemic diseases such as COVID-19 is no exception. In this viewpoint, by examining the most important historical cases similar to epidemics on the one hand and comparing quarantine policies against COVID-19 in China and Iran on the other, we intend to draw on an evidence-based summary of the factors influencing achieve the policies adopted by the government. The choice of China and Iran was made because the authors of this viewpoint had the experience of being present in these two countries during the Coronavirus and this opportunity has led them to express their views from the perspective of a public administration researcher on the subject. As a result of this view, it became clear that the most important effective policy in the face of the Coronavirus is quarantine, which would lead to different economic, political, and cultural conditions for governments and people to implement this policy. Finally, we made our suggestions regarding the implementation of this policy.
