If necessary the Department of Health may establish and enforce a system of quarantine against the introduction into the state of any communicable disease by a common carrier doing business across the state's borders. Any member, officer, or agent of the department may board any conveyance used by a common carrier to inspect the conveyance. If the conveyance is found infected, contaminated, or otherwise containing any disease-causing agent, the department may detain the conveyance, and isolate and quarantine any or all persons found in the conveyance, including luggage, until all danger of disease from the conveyance is removed.
