If you think that mandatory quarantines are not enforced, think again. In Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, one man was quarantined in a hotel when he stepped out of his room into the hallway for eight seconds and was caught on camera by CCTV hotel staff. The staff immediately called the Department of Health to report him, and he was fined $3,500.
The man, a migrant worker from the Philippines, was supposed to be quarantined in his hotel room without leaving, and Taiwan does not bend the rules even one tiny bit when it comes to COVID-19.
