Isolation and quarantine are critical to national security for health protection

Isolation and quarantine are critical to national security for health protection to prevent exposure to people who have or may have a contagious disease. You are the senior public health attorney for the Center for Disease Control (“CDC”). You have been tasked with preparing a brief report for the President regarding intelligence measures to predict and control the spread of certain contagious diseases that can threaten U.S. national security. In summarizing your brief report to the President, you are to address at your own discretion three out of four issues. You can address either: (1) What diseases are included in the “federal quarantine list,” and what is meant by “modes of transmission?” (2) According to federal guidelines, compare and contrast the similarities and differences between isolation and quarantine. (3) According to evidenced based academic research and analyses, are there different categories of isolation precautions and, if so, why? (4) Describe and explain the Constitutional framework for the use of 10th Amendment police powers to protect the public’s health during an emergency.
