I don't know what they meant by "have recovered" but if he has recovered, it shouldn't be that bad. But the phrasing is weird: why hospitalize a patient who has recovered? Is it because he was sick on arrival and got better in the hospital? Because of some after-effects? For analysis? For an unrelated reason?

I would add "quarantine" to that list.

There are diseases that would appear to be cured but are still infectious, especially if little is known about the disease.
