Hochul Administration Wins Appeal in Lawsuit Over ‘Quarantine Camps’ in NY
In a landmark decision overturning a lower court’s verdict, New York’s Supreme Court Appellate Division has ruled that the state’s Commissioner of Health may issue quarantine orders to control COVID-19.
Attorney Bobbie Anne Cox had filed lawsuit against Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York Department of Health in 2022 on behalf of a group of plaintiffs, who include New York State Senator George Borello.
Cox told the Epoch Times last November that she was moved to take action after she saw that N.Y. government officials were unwilling to let go of the emergency powers they gained during the pandemic.
The lawsuit argued that forcing people into quarantine procedures with no due process impeded individual liberty and overstepped the separation of powers.
