A woman who took an online contact tracing course through Johns Hopkins University explains the isolation and quarantine rules in California. Healthy people may be quarantined for 14 days just because they were in the vicinity of someone who tested positive for COVID-19. In that way, healthy people can be quarantined over and over again without ever being sick.In Washington state, Governor Inslee says that quarantines are voluntary, but if an individual refuses to comply with the quarantine “request”, the state may “use a detention order, enforced by the police, to insure your compliance.” Non-compliant individuals may be sent to prison and fined up to $2,000 per day for non-compliance. People in India are being denied access to stores, travel, and work if they don’t have a contact-tracing app. Every state has plans for contact tracing. -GEG
