He sequestered himself away from all people except his doctor, who kept small fires burning around the Pope's desk while he read and signed letters etc. The smoke from the constantly burning fires may have kept the rats and their fleas away.

How did people avoid catching the black plague?
The Black Death was an outbreak of plague that killed a third to half the people in Europe during the period of 1347 to 1352. At the time there was very little anyone could do to avoid it. I have read that some walled towns in England brought in food, raised their drawbridges, and waited until it passed, with some success, but I cannot provide a reference for this. Today, the bubonic plague can be treated with modern medicine.
