Who pays for the quarantined hotel in COVID-19?

Legal analysis: In fact, there is no express provision in law. The law only requires the government to provide living security, but it is not clear who will pay for it. In many places, the government is doing this at the expense of the isolated people. At present, the question of who will pay for the quarantine 14 days is also divided into two aspects. One is forced isolation by the government, and the other is forced isolation by itself. If isolation is compulsory by the government, hotels providing isolation services in many areas will subsidize or reduce taxes and fees, and encourage hotels to charge isolation fees at a standard lower than the daily price. Of course, some areas are entirely undertaken by the government during this period.

Legal basis: Paragraph 2 of Article 41 of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases. During the period of isolation, the people's government that implements isolation measures shall provide living security for the isolated personnel; If the isolated person has a work unit, his work unit will not stop paying his remuneration during the isolation period.
