By that logic, people are free to stay inside if I'm standing outside their door with a gun and they don't want to be shot. Yes, they're free to stay inside, but they're not free to go outside.
I think it's reasonable to believe that the rights of free movement override the rights to be protected from diseases in this case, but I don't think you can argue that via a general principle of rights. I think you have to argue that based on the specific consequences, and on your personal values.
