generally, those who are quarantined by the government are free, and those who go abroad to return to China are at their own expense.
the government will require isolation, and generally will designate isolated hotels for isolation. In this case, the accommodation and catering expenses incurred are provided and borne by the government and are free of charge. However, in the case of entry from other countries, it is necessary for the government to arrange hotel isolation at its own expense. In order to ensure the safety of the people, isolation measures are essential. However, the more detailed the measures, the higher the cost. At present, the country has not yet issued policies and regulations related to the costs incurred during the isolation period. Most of the isolation costs are subsidized by the local government, and some areas are all borne by the isolated people themselves. Reasonable collection of isolation fees is particularly important for epidemic prevention and control.
Fixed-point isolation is really helpless. For most ordinary people, economic factors largely determine their cooperation with epidemic prevention work. Unreasonable isolation costs can only lead more people to "hide and seek", which runs counter to the original intention of prevention and control.
