In India for thousands of years this is being followed. The Indian customs keep a distance generally, unless otherwise it is needed. We keep any patients isolated in a private place within the house or a little away, when one is affected by any disease. The social distancing and isolation is followed during religious rituals, during cooking etc. For the women folks, during menstruation time, they are isolated and given total rest. In all religious, household choirs, during this period women will not participate, for hygiene and psychological reasons and for compete rest.
But today's hectic world some these habits and customs are slowly disappearing.

If they invented it 600 years ago, how come Italy has MILLIONS of infected people than many countries in the WORLD? IN MY OWN OPINION, DISCIPLINE PLAY A BIGGER ROLE FOR FOLLOWING GOVERNMENT HEALTH PROTOCOL.

The Bible is also a history book. Quarantine dates back much further than the creation of Venice. It is in the culture of Israel to isolate a person with a skin disease(leprosy)

If by any chance such a person is cured, he must first present himself to the priests for confirmation before joining the general population.

This was part of the laws, stipulations, decrees..etc... Given to Israel when they came out of Egypt 4000 years ago.

Read Jesus heals 10 lepers.

Note: there was no scientific, medical translation for the various skin conditions like leprosy, small pox..etc...They are all called leprosy

Venice did not "invent" quarantine!
