Involuntary Covid Detention Camps

The Washington State Board of Health has a set of existing laws and procedures established in 1990, Chapter 246-100-40 WAC, that includes involuntary detention for communicable diseases such as HIV and tuberculosis. Washington is considering expanding the laws to include the Covid protocol for people who have Covid or are suspected of having Covid. The provision includes giving power to local health officers to issue an emergency detention order causing a person or group to be involuntarily detained for purposes of isolation or quarantine. The provision allows the use of police to enforce involuntary detention. The involuntary emergency detention order may last up to 10 days unless health officials obtain a court order for "continued isolation or quarantine to prevent a serious and imminent threat to the health and safety of others" that is supposed to end after 30 days.
