The law provides for competing priorities, as some rights are absolute and others are qualified. For example, when a highly contagious disease is life-threatening, the government may decide to restrict your freedom of movement in order to ensure general welfare of the public.

does this mean that a government can isolate a sick person in a prison cell in order to prevent the spread of a disease?

if so, would voluntary isolation in their residence be a better choice in this situation? Please elaborate and provide sources.
