Will see if that person decides to sue.

That changed. https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/30/healt...day/index.html
I note the linked article says: "were asked to stay for at least three days"

However, it goes on to say: "If any demand to go home during the initial 72-hour monitoring period, health officials will discuss their options and may issue an individual quarantine if they believe the person poses a danger of infecting others, Braden said."


So which is it? Either they are required to stay for 72 hours or not. I don't see that the government gets to change the rules in the middle of the game.

Update:

Americans who were evacuated from the epicenter of the China coronavirus outbreak will be quarantined for 14 days at a U.S. military base to prevent any spread of the infectious disease, federal health authorities said Friday.[/QUOTE]
