You are about to be transported into the middle of a drug dispensing center with all the distractions of a frightened and confused public. Stay calm and focused as you get as many people through the center as possible.
The CDC is only the creator of the plan, not the one who implements the plan. That is mainly up to the states, and most importantly the city and county health departments.
Therefore, the National Association of County and City Health Departments (NACCHO) is an important group in this plan.
From their website is this overview of quarantine from the SARS events from 2003. www.naccho.org...
The purpose is to get the “best practices” of the countries involved in it and utilize them for themselves.
C.3.2 With the exception of those contractually entitled to paid sick leave, employees in the U. S. are not eligible for income replacement due to quarantine under any federal or state law. Providing income replacement for employees and self-employed persons is essential to ensure a high rate of compliance with quarantine.
This is why the bill was introduced to give sick leave to workers – to ensure a high rate of compliance with quarantine.
Also, we learn that in Canada’s situation, teens and health care workers were the most likely to violate quarantine.
The vast majority of people under quarantine in all of the countries obeyed requests to stay at home without requiring a court order. Some individuals, however, attempted to escape their confinement, and a variety of means were needed to ensure compliance. For example, in Singapore, three telephone calls were made per day to the home of each individual in quarantine to confirm that the individual was there. People who were known to work at night were called at night. Electronic cameras were used to verify that people were at home, and people in quarantine were required to take their temperature on camera. Anyone initially violating quarantine had an electronic tag put on his or her leg (there were 26 cases). In all of the countries, police officers were charged with locating and confining individuals who violated quarantine.
Here we see that cameras are used to enforce quarantine, hence the antisocial families in UK getting the CCTVs.
And this confirms US intentions of using telephone calls to enforce quarantine:

Public Health - Seattle & King County (Public Health) is forging new ground by creating this Toolkit to help local Public Health jurisdictions develop the capacity to respond to events that may require large-scale isolation and quarantine. The purpose of the Toolkit is to help your jurisdiction save time during your planning process. This Toolkit is designed as a guide, not a substitute, for the collaborative planning process that each health jurisdiction must undertake with its wide cast of community response partners.
