Any person who has been hospitalized, placed in another health care facility or residential facility, or isolated in the home may be granted a short-term temporary leave at the discretion of the department or its authorized representatives, if the department determines the temporary leave will be closely monitored and will not pose a threat to the public health. Temporary leave may be granted for therapeutic purposes, in the event of death or critical illness in the person’s family, or for other emergencies.
