Woman sentenced to 6 months in prison for the reason.

A woman has been jailed in Australia for six months for violating quarantine restrictions on the corona virus.

Authorities allowed a 28-year-old woman from the Australian state of Victoria, severely affected by the corona virus, to stay in a hotel for 14 days in a quarantine when she arrived in Perth.

But the woman secretly came to the city and stayed at a friend's house, from where she was arrested.

Violations of quarantine restrictions in Western Australia are punishable by up to 12 months in prison and a 50,000 fine.
