“Riverside County Public Health Officer Dr Cameron Kaiser issued the order requiring the person to stay for the entire incubation period or until otherwise cleared,” a county news release said.

“This action was taken as a result of the unknown risk to the public should someone leave MARB early without undergoing a full health evaluation.”
