Conditions and principles.
a. 
The mayor shall adhere to the following conditions and principles when isolating or quarantining individuals or groups of individuals:
i. 
Isolation and quarantine shall be by the least restrictive means necessary to prevent the spread of a contagious or possibly contagious disease that poses a significant risk to public health; isolation and quarantine may include confinement to private homes or other private and public premises; absent exceptional circumstances that would jeopardize public health, a person shall be allowed to choose confinement in the person's home.
ii. 
Isolated individuals must be confined separately from quarantined individuals.
iii. 
The health status of isolated and quarantined individuals must be monitored regularly to determine if they require isolation or quarantine.
iv. 
If a quarantined individual subsequently becomes infected or is reasonably believed to have become infected with a contagious or possibly contagious disease he or she must promptly be removed to isolation.
v. 
Isolated and quarantined individuals must be immediately released when they pose no substantial risk of transmitting a contagious or possibly contagious disease to others.
b. 
In addition, in the event that an isolation or quarantine order requires a person to remain outside of their usual place of residence, the mayor shall adhere to the following conditions and principles:
i. 
The needs of persons isolated and quarantined shall be addressed in a systematic and competent fashion, including, but not limited to, providing adequate food, clothing, shelter, means of communication with those in isolation or quarantine and outside these settings, medication, and competent medical care.
ii. 
Premises used for isolation and quarantine shall be maintained in a safe and hygienic manner and be designed to minimize the likelihood of further transmission of infection or other harms to persons isolated and quarantined.
iii. 
To the extent possible, cultural and religious beliefs should be considered in addressing the needs of individuals, and establishing and maintaining isolation and quarantine premises.
iv. 
The effects of isolating or quarantining a person on that person's family will be considered, and appropriate arrangements will be made to mitigate the adverse effects of quarantining or isolating a person on the person's family.
3. 
Cooperation. Persons subject to isolation or quarantine shall obey the mayor's rules and orders and shall not go beyond the isolation or quarantine premises. The mayor may authorize physicians, health care workers, or others access to individuals in isolation or quarantine as necessary to meet the needs of isolated or quarantined individuals. No person, other than a person authorized by the mayor, shall enter isolation or quarantine premises. Any person entering an isolation or quarantine premises with or without authorization of the mayor may be isolated or quarantined pursuant to this section. When a quarantine is at a home, other household members may share the home if the medically necessary requirements of the quarantine can be met.
G. 
Procedures for isolation and quarantine.
1. 
Before quarantining or isolating an individual, the mayor shall obtain a written order from the superior court authorizing the isolation or quarantine, unless the individual consents to the quarantine or isolation. The mayor shall file a petition for a written order under this subsection. The petition must allege:
a. 
The identity of each individual proposed to be quarantined or isolated;
b. 
The premises subject to isolation or quarantine;
c. 
The date and time the isolation or quarantine is to begin;
d. 
The suspected contagious disease;
e. 
That the individual poses a significant risk to public health;
f. 
Whether testing, screening, examination, treatment, or related procedures are necessary;
g. 
That the individual is unable or unwilling to behave so as not to expose other individuals to danger of infection;
h. 
That the mayor is complying or will comply with subsection F.2 above; and
i. 
Be accompanied by an affidavit signed by a health care practitioner attesting to the facts asserted in the petition, including specific facts supporting the allegations required by subsection G.1.d and G.1.g of this subsubsection; the petition shall be personally served according to court rules, along with notice of the time and place of the hearing under subsection G.3 below.
2. 
Notwithstanding subsection G.1, when the mayor has probable cause to believe that the delay involved in seeking a court order imposing isolation or quarantine would pose a clear and immediate threat to the public health and isolation or quarantine is the least restrictive alternative and is necessary to prevent the spread of a contagious or possibly contagious disease, the mayor may issue an emergency order to temporarily isolate or quarantine an individual or group of individuals, unless the individual(s) consents to the quarantine or isolation. An emergency order of temporary quarantine or isolation by the mayor is enforceable by any peace officer in the state. Within 24 hours after implementation of the emergency order, the mayor shall notify the superior court by filing a petition under subsection G.1 that also alleges that the emergency action was necessary to prevent or limit the transmission of a contagious or possibly contagious disease to others that would pose an immediate threat to the public health. The petition must be signed by a health care practitioner or chief medical officer.
3. 
An individual served with a petition under subsection G.1 or an emergency administrative order to temporarily isolate or quarantine under subsection G.2 has the right to a hearing. The superior court shall hold a hearing within 48 hours after a petition is filed. The mayor may request a continuance of the hearing for up to five days. The superior court may grant the continuance for good cause shown and in extraordinary circumstances, giving due regard to the rights of the affected individuals, the protection of the public health, the severity of the need for isolation or quarantine, and other evidence. During a continuance, an isolated or quarantined individual shall remain in isolation or quarantine. The superior court may order the consolidation of individual claims into group claims if the number of individuals affected is so large as to render individual participation impractical, there are questions of law or fact common to the individual claims or rights to be determined, the group claims or rights are typical of the affected individuals' claims or rights, and the entire group can be adequately represented. The public shall be excluded from a hearing under this section unless the individual elects to have the hearing open under subsection G.4, below.
4. 
During the hearing, the individual has the right to:
a. 
View and copy all petitions and reports in the court file of the individual's case;
b. 
Elect to have the hearing open to the public;
c. 
Have the rules of evidence and civil procedure applied so as to provide for the informal but efficient presentation of evidence;
d. 
Have an interpreter if the individual does not understand English;
e. 
Present evidence on the individual's behalf;
f. 
Cross-examine witnesses who testify against the individual;
g. 
Call experts and other witnesses to testify on the individual's behalf; and
h. 
Participate in the hearing; under this paragraph, participation may be by telephone if the individual presents a substantial risk of transmitting a contagious or possibly contagious disease to others.
5. 
At such hearing, the mayor who ordered the isolation or quarantine shall have the burden of showing by clear and convincing evidence that:
a. 
If the individual is not isolated or quarantined, that it would pose a clear and immediate threat to the public health;
b. 
Isolation or quarantine is the least restrictive alternative; and
c. 
Is necessary to prevent the spread of a contagious or possibly contagious disease.
6. 
At the conclusion of the hearing, the superior court may commit the individual to isolation or quarantine for not more than 30 days, if the court finds by clear and convincing evidence, that the mayor met the burden in subsection G.5 above. The superior court may issue other orders as necessary. Orders are enforceable by a peace officer of this state. The order must:
a. 
Identify the isolated or quarantined individual or group of individuals by name or shared or similar characteristics or circumstances;
b. 
Specify factual findings warranting isolation or quarantine under this section;
c. 
Include any conditions necessary to ensure that isolation or quarantine is carried out within the stated purposes and restrictions of this section; and
d. 
Be served on the affected individual or group of individuals in accordance with existing rules.
7. 
Before the expiration of an order issued under subsection G.6 above, the superior court may continue isolation or quarantine for additional periods not to exceed 30 days upon a showing by the mayor by clear and convincing evidence that the action is necessary to prevent or limit the transmission to others of a disease that poses a significant risk to the public health.
8. 
An isolated or quarantined individual or group of individuals may apply to the superior court for an order requiring the mayor to show why isolation or quarantine should not be terminated (order to show cause). The superior court shall rule on the application to show cause within 48 hours after filing. An isolated or quarantined individual or group of individuals may request a hearing in the court for remedies regarding breaches of the conditions of isolation or quarantine. A request for a hearing does not stay or enjoin an isolation or quarantine order. Where extraordinary circumstances justify the immediate granting of relief, the court shall fix a date for hearing on the alleged matters within 24 hours after receipt of the request. Otherwise, the court shall fix a date for hearing on the alleged matters within five days after receipt of a request.
H. 
Rights. Individuals or groups of individuals who are subject to a court order for testing, screening, examination, quarantine, or isolation shall be informed of the right to challenge these orders and of the right to counsel. The court shall appoint counsel at the municipality's expense to represent individuals or groups of individuals who are subject to a court order for testing, screening, examination, quarantine, or isolation and who cannot otherwise afford legal representation.
I. 
The provisions of this section apply to minors. All notices required to be served on an individual shall also be served on the parents or guardians of an individual who is an unemancipated minor.
J. 
The mayor shall adopt measures to protect, as much as possible, the privacy rights of individuals subject to testing, screening, examination, medical treatment, or isolation or quarantine under this section.
K. 
The provisions of this section are intended to address a public health emergency at a particular phase in any such emergency and may not be sufficient in other phases. Nothing in this section shall be held to prevent the mayor from exercising any other power granted by the code which is necessary to prevent disorder and to preserve the public health of the municipality.
