- Do not arbitrarily leave the isolation room during the isolation.

Thus, if you know you have Covid-19 but F0 still walks normally, does not perform isolation and treatment at home, you may be subject to an administrative fine of up to 20 million VND.

Imprisonment up to 12 years

Pursuant to Article 1 of Official Letter 45/TANDTC-PC, if F0 fails to comply with regulations on isolation and transmission of Covid-19 disease to others, it will be considered to have engaged in "another act of spreading dangerous diseases to others" at Point c, Clause 1, Article 240 of the Penal Code on the crime of spreading infectious diseases to humans.
