A New York judge overturned a law that allowed the state government to place even healthy citizens in quarantine camps for an indefinite time without review.
End:
However, laws like the New York one still exist in other states.
In Florida, the state health officer can order quarantines for any individual that “poses a danger to the public health.”
^ DeSantis is great, but laws need to protect individual liberty.
The reason the law in New York has been overturned is because they've used it against people. While the law in Florida should be discarded, for better or worse overturning or changing it probably isn't a huge judicial or legislative priority because there's not much danger of it being used right now.

Yes, of course, that goes without saying. But they do need to get rid of it and not allow future bureaucrats to abuse it.
