The health care practitioner attending a case, suspected case, or carrier (or in the absence of a health care practitioner, the commissioner) shall make certain that isolation precautions are taken to prevent spread of disease to others.
A health care practitioner shall report immediately to the commissioner the name, address, and other pertinent information for all cases, suspected cases, and carriers who refuse to comply with prescribed isolation precautions. The commissioner shall then seek injunctive relief under Minnesota Statutes, section 145.075, if the person represents a public health hazard.
