Sadly, legal obligations frequently exceed the moral compass. Following the moral compass and acting reasonably can often result a fine.
There has been a case in Czechia, early in the pandemic, where one woman had to isolate for over two months after having more than 10 positive tests during the time, even though it was obviously not reasonable to presume she's still infectious. (They have changed the rules since.)
