Failure to obey these rules, orders or provisions shall constitute a misdemeanor.

(b) Conditions and Principles. The public health authority shall adhere to the following conditions and principles when isolating or quarantining individuals or groups of individuals:

(2) Isolated individuals must be confined separately from quarantined individuals.

(3) The health status of isolated and quarantined individuals must be monitored regularly to determine if they require isolation or quarantine.

(4) If a quarantined individual subsequently becomes infected, or is reasonably believed to have become infected with a contagious or possibly contagious disease, that person must promptly be removed to isolation.
(5) Isolated and quarantined individuals must be immediately released when they pose no substantial risk of transmitting a contagious or possibly contagious disease to others.

(6) The needs of persons isolated and quarantined shall be addressed in a systematic and competent fashion, including, but not limited to, providing adequate food, clothing, shelter, means of communication with those in isolation or quarantine and outside these settings, medication and competent medical care.

(7) Premises used for isolation and quarantine shall be maintained in a safe and hygienic manner, and be designed to minimize the likelihood of further transmission of infection or other harms to persons isolated and quarantined.

(8) To the extent possible, cultural and religious beliefs should be considered in addressing the needs of individuals, and establishing and maintaining isolation and quarantine premises.

(c) Cooperation. Persons subject to isolation or quarantine shall obey the public health authority’s rules and orders; and shall not go beyond the isolation or quarantine premises. Failure to obey these provisions shall constitute a misdemeanor.

(d) Entry into Isolation or Quarantine Premises.

(1) Authorized Entry. The public health authority may authorize physicians, health care workers or others access to individuals in isolation or quarantine as necessary to meet the needs of isolated or quarantined individuals.
