73 Del

During a state of emergency, the following rules shall apply:

(1) Medical examinations or tests may be performed by any qualified person authorized to do so by the public safety authority.

(2) Medical examinations or tests must not be such as are reasonably likely to lead to serious injury to the affected individual.

(3) The public safety authority may isolate or quarantine, subject to § 3136 of this title, any person whose refusal of medical examination or testing results in uncertainty regarding whether the person has been exposed to or is infected with a contagious or possibly contagious disease or otherwise poses a danger to public health.
