Pest house

A pest house is like a hospital for sick people who have a certain type of sickness that can make other people sick too. The sickness that they have is usually caused by germs and can spread easily to other people if they are not careful.

So, to keep other people safe, the sick people are taken to a special place called a pest house where they can get better and not spread their sickness to anyone else.

The pest house is usually a separate building from other places where people live or work so that the sickness cannot spread to other people. It is also made sure that the sick people are treated well and given medicine to help them get better faster.

Imagine your friend has a cold but they don't want to make you sick, so they stay in a different room until they feel better. A pest house is like that, but for when lots of people are sick and need their own special place to stay until they feel better.
