As COVID-19 cases rise in Mississippi, the state’s Department of Health on Friday sent out an alert warning those who test positive for COVID-19 to isolate for 10 days or face up to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.
Fox News reported that the order issued Friday by State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs said that those “infected with COVID-19 must remain in the home or other appropriate residential location for 10 days from onset of illness.”
Dobbs added that people isolating due to a positive COVID-19 test don’t need a negative test to end their quarantine, but do need to be “fever free for at least 24 hours with improvement of other symptoms.” Further, any students or faculty in K-12 schools who test positive for COVID-19 are not allowed on campus during the isolation period.
Anyone who doesn’t follow this protocol, Dobbs wrote, faces stiff penalties.
“The failure or refusal to obey the lawful order of a health officer is, at a minimum, a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $500.00 (41-3-59) or imprisonment for six months or both. If a life-threatening disease is involved, failure or refusal to obey the lawful order of a health officer is a felony, punishable by a fine of up to $5,000.00 or imprisonment for up to five years or both (41- 23-2),” Dobbs wrote.
The health officer then defined isolation as limiting exposure to household contacts and disallow visitors.
“Please stay in a specific room away from others in your home. Use a separate bathroom if available. If you need to be around others in your home, you should wear a face mask,” Dobbs added.

The CDC had 38 million flu cases in 2019-2020. In 2020-2021 they has 2,038 flu cases? What happened to the flu? Perhaps it is being labeled as Covid?
Anyhow, this seems to violate the 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th and 10th. Additionally appears to violate HIPAA and the Americans for Disabilities Act
They’re still giving it the old college try, though, aren’t they?
It’s like the last gasps with their dying breath to wring just a little more power and control out of the narrative before it all just evaportes.
Mississippi is run by Republican Governor Tate Reeves and a Republican controlled legislature.

Yes. Generally people with the disease stay in quarantine, not the general public.

BINGO , you win a cookie
Don’t you have to charge someone with violating a law, and then give them trial by jury and then a conviction before you send someone to prison?
Unless you are now living in a Communist Country.
I agree with you....it is falling apart. Mandatory vaxes is going to go away, IMO.
“ Didn’t the CDC say they are phasing out the PCR tests by the end of the year…”
****************************************************
You can do your own internet search to get an accurate answer but I believe it was only a single early-developed Test that was being phased out. It was being phased out (100% stopped by the year’s end) because it ONLY tested for COVID-19.
The tyranny of government continues.
That people infected with the disease be in quarantine is the normal and sensible procedure - not to quarantine the populace.
Hard not to if there are federal jobs and others that force testing on you.
Burn a building and you’re fine though.

This claim has been debunked multiple times. People keep trying to resurrect this false claim because it furthers the narrative that COVID isn’t a threat.

There are multiple sources debunking this false claim. Try googling.
Law was written into the code in 1988. Anyone remember if there was anything going on back then or before?
What’s happened to freedom-loving Mississippi? Sad to see it turn. I grew up there and can’t imagine people going along with this.
Wasn’t that right around the time of swine flu?
This is only the beginning.
Those captured by the Wuhan Flu hysteria will only become more immoral going forward.
Probably 1/6 change all that.
