Unit 2

Unit 2 (參考"何誠-閱讀強迫取分")
Due to the fear of the reoccurrence of SARS, travelers
should read and consider the following before traveling
abroad:
Effective immediately, travelers arriving from
Hong Kong, China, Canada, Singapore, and Thailand,
will be asked to voluntarily quarantine themselves.
The quarantine should last 14 days. During that time
they are required to stay inside at all times. Food or
necessities may be delivered to the house of the
quarantined. All visitors are required to wear quality
facemasks. Face shields and gloves are optional, but
not required. Visitors should avoid any close contact
with the quarantined. Windows should be left open
to allow fresh air to enter the house. Breaking of the
quarantine for non-emergency situations will
result in a fine of $70,000 and possible imprisonment.

If the quarantined develop a cough and a high fever
they are to call a doctor immediately. After calling the
doctor arrangements will be made to transport the
person to a hospital for further observation. Please
understand the importance of the above; it is for
the good of all of everyone. Thank you for your
cooperation and have a nice trip.
