I find this more than a bit disturbing. They had to take him to court and threaten jail in order to stop this halfwit from spreading the disease.

A tuberculosis patient who failed to take precautions to avoid spreading the illness will be tracked by GPS and could go to jail if he violates court orders requiring him to remain isolated.

CHAMPAIGN – A local man infected with tuberculosis will be monitored electronically and will have to stay in his residence during treatment except when health authorities allow him to leave, a judge ruled Wednesday.

If Clasance B. Botembe, 20, of Champaign, disobeys the order issued by Champaign County Circuit Judge John Kennedy, it would constitute a Class A misdemeanor and carry a sentence of up to a year in the county jail.
…
The health district will pay for the global positioning system device that monitors Botembe, as well as his rent, food and medication and will arrange for him to spend his isolation period in a hotel or motel. The order expires at the end of Botembe’s treatment or in 30 days.

Botembe appeared at the hearing with Jerry Lyke, his appointed attorney. Botembe, a native of Congo, wore a white-and-blue mask hooked around his ears.
