The FMA Alphabet: Q is for Quarantine Flag.
The yellow signal flag representing the letter Q is used to signal that a ship or port is free of disease either after an outbreak or after being inspected by health officials when there is a fear of disease. When a ship or port is under quarantine the yellow and black checked flag for L is flown. While today many other forms of communication are used by ships and harbour masters, you may still see the yellow flag flying to indicate that a newly arrived vessel has been confirmed as disease free.
This photo of the Quarantine flag flying was taken on April 8, 2020 in Salem, Massachusetts and indicates that vessels that have been confirmed as disease free are welcome to dock.
