Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 12, March 22, 2024
a) The Department or certified local health department may order a person to be isolated or a place to be quarantined and made off limits to the public to prevent the probable spread of syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV or chanchroid, until such time as the condition can be corrected or the danger to the public health is eliminated or reduced in such a manner that no substantial danger to the public's health any longer exists. (Section 7(a) of the Act) The determination that action is required shall be based on the following:
b) No person may be ordered to be isolated, and no place may be ordered to be quarantined, except with the consent of such person or owner of such place or upon the order of a court of competent jurisdiction and upon proof by the Department or certified local health department, by clear and convincing evidence, that the public's health and welfare are significantly endangered by a person with syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV or chancroid or by a place where there is a significant amount of sexual activity likely to spread syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV or chancroid, and upon proof that all other reasonable means of correcting the problem have been exhausted and no less restrictive alternative exists.
