Ministry of Health (MoH) said Monday that people who violated home quarantine were handed over to the Ministry of Interior to be questioned for breaching quarantine. Those violating home quarantine are referred to the investigation department of the Interior Ministry to be questioned and then face charges, MoH’s Assistant Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Mohammad Al-Subaiee told KUNA.
He said this referral was based on Law No. 8 of 1969 regarding prevention of communicable diseases. Al-Subaiee said they were monitoring the citizens who were repatriated and how they were abiding by the home quarantine restrictions. The ministry, he asserted, would refer any person violating the quarantine for the sake of well-being of the society.
