Prosecutors say they’re renewing criminal enforcement of quarantine rules
The State Prosecutor’s Office announces that it is renewing criminal enforcement of quarantine rules for confirmed COVID-19 carriers, saying that the move follows professional opinions by the Health Ministry regarding the response to the current outbreak.
However, in the past, there were rarely any criminal charges pressed for quarantine violation, with most violators receiving an administrative fine.
