"New York State Assembly Perry wants detention centers for sick"
"Authored by a Democratic member of the New York State Assembly N. Nick Perry, Bill A416 calls for the 'removal and/or detention' of individuals who are identified as a 'case, contact or carrier' of a contagious disease.
The sweeping powers would be employed in the event of the state government declaring a health emergency due to an epidemic of any communicable disease, the bill proposes. The legislation states that the government must provide 'clear and convincing evidence' that the health of others is in danger before ordering a person or group to be detained. People being 'removed' will have the right to legal representation and are allowed to supply the telephone numbers of friends or family to receive notification of the individual’s detention.
The law apparently allows the governor or health official to unilaterally approve such detentions but a court order is required within 60 days of confinement, and judicial review is also required if the individual is still in detention after 90 days.
Citizens that are placed in detention will be released once health authorities determine that they are no longer contagious, the proposed law states.
The bill also allows the governor or relevant health authorities to require people deemed potential health risks to submit to medical examinations as well as undergo a 'prescribed course of treatment, preventative medication or vaccination.'
The law does not specifically mention coronavirus. On his website, Perry says A416 'Relates to the removal of cases, contacts and carriers of communicable diseases who are potentially dangerous to the public health.' "
