RIYADH -
The Ministry of Interior has reiterated its warning on Thursday for violators of isolation and quarantine instructions.

The ministry clarified the penalties, as it confirmed that violators of the isolation and quarantine instructions will be punished with a fine of up to SR200,000, or imprisonment for a period not exceeding two years, or both.

The penalty will be doubled in the event of repeat violation, the ministry warned.

The ministry of interior stated that non-Saudi violators of these instructions will be punished and deported from the Kingdom, in addition to a life-long entry ban after implementing the penalty imposed on them.

It is noteworthy that the health ministry spokesman Dr. Mohammed Al-Abdali noted earlier that the PCR tests should be performed in the event of the symptoms appearing, and quarantine is for people who had come in contact with non-vaccinated people. The patients need to go to Tataman (fever) clinics in the event of having symptoms or health condition.

If symptoms of coronavirus appear on an unvaccinated person after contacting an infected person, then he is obliged to quarantine and conduct a PCR test after the fourth or fifth day, the spokesman pointed out.
