What is Disease Control about?
Abstract This chapter discusses legal issues specific to disease control. Cases of disease are reported to health departments. They have the authority to quarantine or isolate people who are infectious, or potentially infectious, from the population. This chapter discusses the laws that authorize these activities, looking at how they were used in three recent outbreaks. It also discusses the ethical and legal obligations that a health official has when issuing an order that restricts a person’s liberty. Finally, the chapter discusses laws that mandate vaccinations.
