Dr Mohammad Mushtuq Husain, consultant for the National Action Plan for Health Security (NAPHS) and former PSO of IEDCR, said the government has decided to put anyone who defies home quarantine into institutional quarantine. A total 43 people are already in institutional quarantine, according to IEDCR. During a press briefing, IEDCR Director Flora admitted that there have been some breaches of home quarantine in the country. The government will be strict if they find frequent breaches, and those who breach home quarantine will be put into institutional quarantine,” she said.
