NY State Can Now Send You and Your Children Into Forced Quarantine – Even If You’re Not “Sick”
By Jesse Martin
The State of New York can send you and your children into forced quarantine whether you’re sick or not
New York State has claimed the authority to force individuals into quarantine, even if they’re not sick.
An April 2022 update to The New York Codes, Rules, and Regulations, Section 2.13 Isolation and Quarantine Procedures of regulation 10 NYCRR 2.3, has given the NY Commissioner of Health “or appointed alternatives” the authority to push people into isolation and quarantine under “suspicion” of carrying a “highly communicable disease,” which includes the flu and common cold.
Any physician who encounters a “case or suspected case of a highly contagious reportable communicable disease” is required to “cause the patient to be appropriately isolated and contact the State Department of Health and the local health authority where the patient is isolated and, if different, the local health authority where the patient resides.”
Law enforcement, under this, will be used to force compliance with forced-quarantine orders.
