Law students working with Yale’s legal services organization planned to file a class-action lawsuit in Federal District Court on Monday against Gov. Dannel P. Malloy of Connecticut and the state’s acting and former health commissioners on behalf of residents affected by Connecticut’s Ebola quarantine policies, including two who were Yale graduate students.

The complaint seeks unspecified damages for some of the plaintiffs who were ordered to stay inside apartments and homes for up to three weeks in fall 2014, with police officers posted outside their residences.

“We believe the quarantine of asymptomatic individuals did not do any good and did a whole lot of harm,” said Emma Roth, a second-year law student who helped draft the complaint. “People who’ve never shown signs of Ebola can’t pass the disease,” added Ms. Roth, a co-author of a report on Ebola-related quarantines in the United States that was released in December by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Yale Global Health Justice Partnership.

The legal complaint, a draft of which was shared with The New York Times, challenges both the decision to use quarantines in an attempt to prevent Ebola’s spread and the procedures the state put in place under an Ebola emergency order issued on Oct. 7, 2014, by Mr. Malloy, a Democrat. State officials confirmed on Friday the order was still in effect.
