A Filipino migrant worker in Kaohsiung, Taiwan was fined $3,540 (approx. P168,000) on Sunday after he left his room at a quarantine hotel for eight seconds.
The migrant worker, who arrived in Taiwan last month was under mandatory 14-day quarantine when it was caught in a surveillance camera to have stepped out of the hotel room. According to the information given by the Department of Health to Taiwan's Central News Agency (CNA), the man left the room to leave something at the door of another room for a friend who was also in quarantine on the same floor.
Taiwan have designated 56 hotels that offer a total of about 3,000 rooms for quarantine purposes. Following a recent spike of COVID-19 cases in the country, authorities are instructing hotel management to closely monitor guests who are in quarantine.
Authorities have found from November 1 to December 5, nine foreign migrant workers in Kaohsiung were caught violating quarantine rules. A fine of NT$100,000 to NT$ 1 million is imposed for those who will break the city’s quarantine guidelines.
