THE IMPOSITION OF A QUARANTINE OBLIGATION PURSUANT TO ART. 33 SEC. 1 ON PREVENTING AND COMBATING INFECTIONS AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN HUMANS

Abstract

In order to prevent the spread of infections and infectious diseases, people suffering from an infectious disease or suspected of contracting an infectious disease may be subject to compulsory hospitalization, isolation or isolation at home. The decision on quarantine is issued by the sanitary authority when it learns that the person was exposed to an infectious disease. This fact is confirmed by the so-called epidemiological investigation. It is an informal procedure to the extent appropriate for a jurisdictional procedure, the authority takes actions prescribed by law, including decisions on quarantine, based on the data and information it possesses and based on the medical knowledge and guidelines of a higher level authority, bearing in mind primarily the interests of social, which is the protection of public health. The decision to impose quarantine is a declaratory decision.
