19K GBP Fine For Quarantine Woman Who Went For Walk

This statutory quarantine document given to every person returning to Taiwan during the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a 19,000-GBP fine for a woman who left home twice - including once to see a friend.

Authorities with Luzhou Precinct in Taiwan’s north-western city of Taoyuan said local resident Ms He, 43, left her home twice on 13th and 16th March despite being handed self-quarantine orders which require her to remain at home for at least 14 days.
