Do not enter lands where there is sign of its presence . Stay put even if you are already in such a land when it arrives . Respect health regulations set by authorities etc..

This hadith discusses how one should respond when faced with the plague. It advises against entering a land where the plague is present, as well as fleeing from such a land if one finds themselves in it already. This advice comes from Usama Ibn Zayd who heard it directly from Prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself. The hadith also mentions that this punishment was sent down on a party of Banu Israil or whoever was before them, indicating that this punishment has been around for some time now and will continue until Allah wills otherwise. The hadith also implies that fleeing away in fear of the plague may be seen as an act of disobedience towards Allah's will which could lead to further consequences for those who do so without any other intention than flight.
