The Alaska Petition for Quarantine or Isolation is a document used to request quarantine or isolation of individuals who are suspected of having a communicable disease or who have had contact with a person known to have a communicable disease. The petition is intended to protect the public health and safety of Alaskans by preventing the spread of disease. There are two types of Alaska Petition for Quarantine or Isolation: 1. Petition for Quarantine: This petition is used to request the quarantine of an individual who is suspected of having a communicable disease or who has had contact with a person known to have a communicable disease. The petition must include a statement of facts indicating why the person should be quarantined, a description of the proposed quarantine period, and a plan for monitoring the person's health. 2. Petition for Isolation: This petition is used to request the isolation of an individual who is known to have a communicable disease. The petition must include a statement of facts indicating why the person should be isolated, a description of the proposed isolation period, and a plan for monitoring the person's health. In both cases, the petition must be submitted to the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services for review. The department will then make a determination whether quarantine or isolation is necessary and will issue an order for quarantine or isolation if appropriate.
