An unlucky Philippine man has been slapped with a heavy fine by Taiwanese authorities over leaving his room for mere seconds while he was subject to a mandatory 14-day #Covid19 #quarantine.

The quarantine-defying man, said to be a migrant worker from the Philippines, was fined a hefty sum of 100,000 Taiwanese dollars (around $3,600) for an extremely brief breach of the mandatory isolation period. He was staying at a quarantine hotel in #Taiwan's Kaohsiung last month.

Surveillance footage of the incident, released by local authorities, shows the man leaving his room without permission to give something to a fellow quarantined individual. The two apparently tried to maintain social distancing, as the ‘offender’ simply left the item on a table for another man to pick it up.
