ESSENTIAL CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE WORKERS, AS DEFINED BY THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, ARE EXEMPT FROM THIS ORDER.

Enforcement

'a person is guilty of a class B misdemeanor if that person fails to cooperate with this order to quarantine. N.D.C.C. § 23-07.6-02(3).... a person is guilty of an infraction if that person violates or fails to obey any order issued by the State Health Officer. N.D.C.C. § 23-07-21 (1).'
