What threatens tourists who do not comply with quarantine rules in different countries

Late last year, U.S. student S. Mack was jailed for two months. because of a violation of the rules of self-isolation. The girl flew to her boyfriend in the Cayman Islands and on arrival had to be quarantined for 14 days. However, two days later, she took off her seat-tracking bracelet and went to her boyfriend, who was competing in a water skiing competition. Police found the unfortunate and found out that, among other things, Mac was not wearing a mask. The girl's initial sentence is four months in custody. was relaxed after the appeals court. Her young man also received a two-month sentence.

Despite the protests of both families, the petition from the U.S. President and support on social media, the Cayman Islands authorities remained unwavering in their decision.

Another similar story occurred in 2021. Thus, the top model from great Britain, Holland and his companion were quarantined right in a hotel in the resort of Barbados. After getting out of self-isolation, the pair had to undergo secondary testing for coronavirus. But the second PCR test was positive. And instead of being quarantined, the young men hurried to the airport to try to fly home on the next flight. The attempt was unsuccessful.

A sad case occurred recently in Jamaica. One of the tourists tried to escape from the hotel quarantine and was eventually placed in a prison cell.

Experts in the field of psychology believe that such disruptions are associated with the peculiarities of the human brain, which, understanding the gloomy prospects, sometimes just shuts down, and people begin to act spontaneously, uncharacteristic of themselves. Some tourists are sure that they do not risk anything, that trouble is "not about them".

Experts of the tourism sector believe that the reason for the violations is the lack of generally accepted international rules, uniform restrictions and measures of restraint for all countries, which misleads many tourists.
