Coronavirus: Fears for daughter in quarantine in Taiwan
4 hours ago
Nathalie Dawson and partner Rohan Pixley arrived in Taiwan on 14 March, her
mother said
The mother of a British woman quarantined in Taiwan because of the
coronavirus outbreak said she was being kept "in prison-like conditions".

Nathalie Dawson, 28, arrived with her partner Rohan Pixley on 14 March.
Jill Weaver, from Leicestershire, said that a few days later they were
separated and "incarcerated".
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan disputed the claims, saying the
pair had been quarantined with their consent, and were not "locked in".

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) said it was assisting a British
woman in quarantine who had "raised concerns about the conditions she is in".
The couple left the UK on 13 March with the initial intention of staying in
Taiwan before attending a wedding in Australia.
As the situation worsened while in Taiwan, they cancelled their trip to
Australia.
Mrs Weaver, from Quorn, said the pair tried to get a flight home at this
point but were unable to, so they went into quarantine at their hotel on 18
March.
But she said that on the same day they were taken - without explanation - to
a facility in an ambulance, separated and given basic food.

"They are locked in and they can't get out," Mrs Weaver said.

"One man brings them food three times a day. But it is of poor quality and
meagre portions.
"The room is filthy. She has no hot water and nowhere to wash her clothes.
"They have to quarantine, which is fine. We aren't disputing that. It is the
conditions they are being held in."
'Really struggling'
"She's a very strong woman mentally, she's done a lot of travelling
worldwide, but she's really struggling with this," Mrs Weaver added.
"I feel guilty sitting in the garden because I can sit outside, but she can't.
"It's not right they are being kept like that. It's just awful."
Mrs Weaver said her daughter had celiac disease, meaning she needed a special
diet which those feeding her were now accommodating.

The couple were told their 14-day quarantine period started from the day they
landed.
They are due to leave isolation on Saturday when they will be expected to pay
￡6.25 for each per night to cover the cost of their food.
'Not prison-like conditions'
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan said the couple had told
authorities they could not afford to continue their quarantine stay in a
hotel, so they were placed in a local quarantine centre "with their consent".
"While its facilities may not be comparable to a hotel in comfort, they are
not 'prison-like conditions', nor are people living at the center locked in,"
a MOFA statement said.

pair's accommodation
"The center had initially arranged for the couple to reside separately in
accommodations equipped with washroom facilities not to be shared with anyone
else. However, the hot water heater in the accommodation assigned to the
woman was found to be faulty. After she made this known, she was given a
better equipped room.
"The center then arranged for designated shower facilities for her to ensure
both privacy and convenience, and in line with its plans concerning
quarantined individuals.
"The woman had requested permission to share a room with her boyfriend, but
as this would defeat the principles underlying quarantine, and as the center
wishes to prevent avenues for the disease to spread, her request was denied."
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) said it was working with officials
to release the couple.
