Using your logic we should never detain anyone for any reason then. The reality is that we have always detained a small portion of society deemed a threat to the rest of it. What makes them a threat is poor behavior that chances a real risk to the rest of society. His homelessness is only relevant because he doesn't have a house he can be asked to stay in and the government cannot ask him to live in a particular patch of woods or something so he has to stay at a place with proper medical facilities and food.

Did hepatitis suddenly become a fatal airborne disease that cross the whole globe in a few months and I just missed it?

No I have actively tried to remove the homelessness out of the equation. It is only relevant to this story because the person in question couldn't be asked to return to a house to self monitor and the government cant legally deny care to them or ask them to remain in whatever form of shelter they are living in. I have actually been homeless, I lived out of a tent with my wife for 3 years so dont try to spin this as some sort of antihomlessness angle. I personally think anyone with a deadly disease should remain indoors. If I have covid it wouldnt even occur to me to go out in public because I prioritize the safety of others over my desire to get out of the house. In the case of public officials violating orders, I think they should be punished more severely for not abiding by their own emergency measures.

The Ohio Department of Health has job postings everywhere for "contact tracers". You play detective and find out who the infected came into contact with as far back as two days before the onset of symptoms.
You would then contact those people, place them under a 14-day quarantine and monitor them daily for symptoms. All work is from home, with equipment provided by the State of Ohio. You then report your findings to a Supervisor, who probably then reports to the Gestapo(Governor Dewine).
I bet they get extra toilet paper for reporting their findings.
