Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Health Ministry says that Israelis caught violating a mandatory home quarantine for travelers recently in East Asia could face a prison sentence of up to seven years.
Those who knowingly violate the quarantine could be sentenced to seven years in prison, while those who do so out of negligence could get a three year sentence, according to the ministry.
Travelers returning from China, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore and Thailand must self-quarantine for 14 days over concerns they may carry the new coronavirus.
