I wonder the legalities of being forced to " quarantine" .

1227/2016 "Communicable Diseases Act" 60 §

Gives the health authorities of a municipality or hospital district the right to quarantine people who are reasonably suspected of having contracted such virus or having been in contact with a person who might have such virus for up to a month with or without their consent.

EDIT: If you don't follow their instructions during home quarantine, they have the right to isolate you to a hospital behind locked doors.

1st death in Australia: a 78-year-old man in Perth who was among the 164 Australians flown out of Japan after being quarantined aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship. His wife also tested positive to the virus and is currently in a stable condition in isolation at a Perth hospital.

Incoming travel from Iran to Australia is banned starting Sunday. Appropriate level of travel advisory to Italy is being considered. But "it's not possible to further isolate Australia," said Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy, adding that the focus should be on detection and containment instead.

Yes , in the UK the state has the right to " section " you as it's known . That can be for all ailments more formerly used against mental health patients .

Of course it will. It always does .It's not rocket science, nice to see Boris taking a turn as Captain Obvious. That's why we were always required as healthcare workers to get flu shots or the hospital would yank our privileges.

Interesting that this year's flu shot apparently didn't cover the viral strain that is most prevalent. Still, it beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
