ransomnote: very disturbing to see these sentences, fines. This is how it started in Australia, and the fines and prison sentences just kept increasing, sometimes doubling overnight. Limits to keep people from traveling beyond 10 kilometers from their homes were halved, overnight, with more and more troops/police to enforce. This is an overthrow of freedom done by degrees.
According to Mississippi Health Office, the patients of COVID-19 who refuse to self-isolate may be fined $5000 and even sent to 5 years in jail or both.
The state health officer for Mississippi issued a COVID-19 isolation order (read below) on Friday, telling people that if they test positive for COVID-19 and refuse to self-isolate, they could face fines or possible jail time.
In his isolation order (read below), Mississippi State Health Officer Thomas Dobbs said that people have to isolate themselves at home once they become aware that they are infected.
People are expected to remain home for 10 days after becoming ill or testing positive for COVID-19, regardless of whether they are fully vaccinated.
“A negative test for COVID-19 is not required to end isolation at the end of 10 days, but you must be fever free for at least 24 hours with improvement of other symptoms,” the order said.
The order stated that refusal to obey could include several fines or punishments. Someone who refuses to obey the order of a health official could receive a $500 fine, up to six months in jail or both.
However, when a life-threatening disease is involved, the refusal to obey the order could include up to $5,000 in fines, five years of jail time or both.
The state has been struggling with a relatively low vaccination rate — only 37 percent of the population is fully vaccinated, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
As GreatGameIndia reported earlier, students at Connecticut’s Quinnipiac University will be fined up to $2,275 and lose internet access if they fail to comply with the university’s COVID-19 vaccination policies.
Meanwhile, French Vaccine Police have started patrolling the streets of Paris enforcing a Virus Pass and slapping fines as high as 9,000 Euros.

PING
Don’t
Get
Tested.
Insane... Mississippi is a red state.
Too bad they can’t write accurate headlines.
nope
they have injured people shoving those nasal swabs deep into their skulls
99.97 percent recovery rate.
There are plenty of more dangerous viruses around.
This one just has an awesome press agent.
Meanwhile, is this one of thos states letting prisoners out early so they can avoid COVID? That hasn’t worked out too well in my state of California.
Crooks gotta crook.
Yet you can have AIDS and have sex with and infect anybody you want to in America.
Does anyone else see the hypocrisy of the con or is everyone just f**cking stulid?
You noticed that, too
Lol
“Don’t
Get
Tested”.
That’s for sure.
I wonder if that applies to illegals as well.
And the swabs, which are made in China, are coated with a toxic substance. Those swabs are pushed way up close to the brain. No thanks.
There’s an easy answer for that.
Don’t get tested.
Self treat at home, which is what you are forced into doing by our medical community anyways since they won’t treat you early. You’ll be no worse off than doing the nothing they recommend.
Dear government morons. I have been vaxed for my own reasons but your communist tactics would have put me off of it.
You’re right. We have a huge pandemic called Hypocrisy.
I will add that I won’t get the booster shot as I expect for you to eventually require it every hour.
Spent in solitary confinement, I presume.
very possible
havent they found some of the same stuff in the blue masks as well?
So this unelected Drector of Health Dept. is deriving his powers due to an emergency Declaration FROM MARCH 2020...
Are there no expirations on these?!?
