> Some health departments have taken it upon themselves to arrest people that won’t sign documents.

Which health departments, what documents, and how many people?

And how did they get arrest powers?

Health departments can order you to quarantine. In practical termss that's like house arrest.

Not like house arrest. But actual house arrest. Ankle monitors.

Oh, that's what they meant? That's not about signing documents at all, really. It's about whether they will agree to supervise their own quarantine, or whether the state has to do it. Then there was some stubbornness and/or misunderstanding in regards to making that decision and agreement.

"Some health departments have taken it upon themselves to enforce quarantine on people that just tested positive." doesn't really inspire the same kind of outrage.
