If at the hearing the court shall find that the person is suffering from active tuberculosis and that his commitment is in the best interest of the public’s health, an order adjudging such fact shall be entered and the clerk shall issue a writ directed to the sheriff to deliver such person to the hospital or facility of the Mississippi Department of Corrections under contract ordered by the court, and such sheriff shall execute such writ and deliver such person accordingly.
The order of the court shall further provide that such person shall submit to such reasonable rules and regulations as may be found necessary for his treatment and the protection of other persons. The chancery court shall have continuing jurisdiction of such person until it is determined by the county health officer that he or she no longer threatens the public health, and if such person violates any of the provisions of the order of the court he shall be in contempt.
