This sentence appeared on NHK news web easy today in regards to the corona virus.
厚生労働省は、検査の結果が出るまで、外に出ないようにしてもらうことにしています。
I believe the grammar that is tripping me up is the nested にする in te form.
My best interpretation:
According to some government office, until the results of the test are received, [they] won't be allowed to leave.
The ～ようにしてもらう construction and the final ～もらうことにしています Must be a type of grammatical construction I am not familiar with yet.
I believe that the subject of います is the Ministry of Health (厚生労働省) whereas the subject of 出ない is people who have taken the medical tests.
Broken down:
The ministry of health (厚生労働省は) decides that (しています) it will receive [by the potentially ill people] the favor (もらうことに) of their making sure (して) to not go out (出ないように).
