In Pakistan, very few people follow the restrictions related to Covid-19, but in Taiwan, a violation of just a few seconds can lead to thousands of dollars in fines.
Yes, a man in Taiwan was sentenced to a fine of 3500 dollars for violating quarantine regulations for just 8 seconds.
The man was a worker from the Philippines who was in quarantine at a hotel in the city of Kaohsiung, where he left the room for a few seconds.
The man was spotted on CCTV by hotel staff and contacted the health department, after which he was fined $3,500 (over 561,000 Pakistani rupees).
Quarantine laws in Taiwan do not allow people to leave their rooms, no matter how many days they have to stay in the room.
According to the Department of Health, people in quarantine should not assume that they will not face fines if they leave the room.
There are 56 quarantine hotels in Kaohsiung city with a total of 3,000 rooms.
It should be noted that Taiwan has been praised for its containment strategies against the Covid-19 outbreak, where strict lockdowns and strict restrictions have never been imposed.
In contrast, Taiwan focused more on screening travelers from overseas.
Along with large-scale testing by the government, lightning speed and efficient contact tracing were also worked on.
In this country of 2.3 million people, there were only 176 corona virus cases and 7 deaths.
