Not sure what happens if someone refuses. Quarantine?
I was under impression that was challenged when states tried to do Ebola quarantine and there was changes.

I refuse to follow government directions. Regarding quarantine, i was under impression that there was settlement/changes after the lawsuit as result of Ebola quarantine. Also I would challenge quarantine under habeas corpus petition. It would be up to government to provide evidence i am danger to the public and coming from area in itself i would think is not sufficient to hold someone against their will
