That's not what the article says. It says this:

    The woman's legal saga dates back to January
    2022, when the health department resorted to
    court orders to try to get her to treat her
    deadly infection—or at least prevent her from
    readily spreading it in the community. "The
    Local Health Officer ordered [the woman] to
    self-isolate and treat; which she declined to
    do. [The woman] has not complied with such
    efforts, has discontinued treatment and is
    unwilling to resume treatment or voluntarily
    self-isolate," court documents from January
    2022 read.
