World Health Organisation says wealthy countries should not make citizens pay for quarantine – PerthNow
The head of the World Health Organisation’s public health emergencies program said citizens ‘should not suffer the financial burden’ of a public health measure.
Rich countries like Australia should not be charging their citizens for hotel quarantine, according to the World Health Organisation.
Dr Mike Ryan, who heads the WHOs public health emergencies program, said the International Health Regulation, which has been adopted by member states, recommends the traveller should not suffer economically from measures designed to protect the health of the population as a whole.
