Is it? In the hospitals they cannot hold you against your will. It is the reason one can sign out Against Medical Advice.

Have they made a law to quarantine her? If so, jail her.

Hospitals can not make you stay, that is correct. But it has nothing to so with state ordered quarantine.

Under public health law, the state can and will quarantine you if you pose a danger to the public health.

Recently this has been done in several states with TB patients that refuse treatment.

“Have they made a law to quarantine her? If so, jail her.”

These laws have been on the books for more than 100 years. Quarantine to reduce the spread of disease works, it is settled science (and law).

FWIW- Kansas Law (Cant be the only state this far back in the stone age, but we are trying!)

The secretary of health and environment is authorized to issue such orders and adopt rules and regulations as may be medically necessary and reasonable to prevent the spread and dissemination of diseases injurious to the public health, including, but not limited to, providing for the testing for such diseases and the isolation and quarantine of persons afflicted with or exposed to such diseases.
