How may mandatory testing be enforced according to the law?

Mandatory testing can be enforced through a court order, which serves as a legal mandate requiring individuals or groups to undergo testing in certain situations, such as to protect public health or to comply with specific regulations. Courts have the authority to issue orders that can compel individuals to participate in health-related testing, particularly in cases involving contagious diseases where the risk to public health is significant. This legal enforcement mechanism ensures compliance while also providing a framework for addressing situations where individuals might refuse testing based on personal beliefs or other reasons.

The enforcement through a court order is often seen as a last resort, used when there are substantial public health concerns or when other means of obtaining consent or compliance have failed. It reinforces the principle that the state can intervene in personal health matters when there is a compelling interest in safeguarding community health and welfare.
