Will you be arrested if you don’t pay the quarantine fee?

If you don’t have money to pay for quarantine, you will not be detained by the police. There is no need to worry about this, but you must make this situation clear to the staff in advance. If you don’t have money to pay for the quarantine fee, you can only negotiate with the quarantine unit to handle the matter. In addition, if you really have no money, you can provide relevant certificates and apply for subsidies or fee exemptions from the community. Different regions and hotels have different quarantine fee standards, ranging from about 2,000 yuan to about 2,000 yuan. The fee is still subject to the quarantine destination.
