New York law does not call for 'quarantine camps,' despite Facebook claims about a COVID-19 pandemic-era health rule about quarantining and isolation.

By Tom Kertscher • April 26, 2023

"There is no such thing as quarantine or isolation camps created in these regulations," Hoke said."Before these regulations were changed, state law gave the Department of Health and local departments of health broad power to prevent the spread of infectious disease."If people cannot quarantine in their own homes or live in close quarters with other people or are homeless, the state will provide a place to quarantine.

This fact-check considered the evidence for the social media claim, and did not consider the merits of the arguments in the lawsuit.
