You don't. It naturally stops on it's own. It will stop faster if everyone gets vaccinated so they can't get it and then pass it on. If it is necessary, countries have the ability to quarantine sick citizens, and prevent entry of those with acute infectious diseases at the borders. You can also lessen the spread by preventive measures such as good hand washing, and avoiding crowded locations.

What is the difference between epidemic and pandemic?

An epidemic is when new cases of a given disease spread throughout a given population at a rate that is greater than would normally be expected. The disease in question doesn't have to be contagious to fit the definition of epidemic. As far as a pandemic goes, you might say it is an epidemic on steroids. By that I mean, that when an epidemic spreads over a large area--over a continent, several continents, or even global--it becomes a pandemic. If the number of people who are becoming sick with the epidemic disease is stable (meaning the disease is spreading over a great distance, but the number of people who are sick at any given time is remaining relatively the same), then it is not a pandemic. Finally, for a disease to meet pandemic criteria, it must be infectious.
