Chelsie Lee, who just landed in Singapore from the UK this week, is required to self-isolate for 14 days to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Initially she thought that she would be self-isolating at home, but unexpectedly, the isolation place provided by the Singapore government was a five-star hotel room.

Chelsie was placed at Shangri-La's Rasa Sentosa Resort and Spa which is located on the island of Sentosa. The room rate per night at this hotel is hundreds of Singapore dollars, but she gets the facility of staying at this hotel free for 14 days.

Chelsie occupies a standard size room on the 8th floor with a king-size bed and beautiful views of the pool and beachfront. Every day she gets an in-room breakfast service with scrambled eggs, sausage and hash browns served with croissants and toast.

During the quarantine period, she is not allowed to leave their room for a full 14 days and is not allowed to use the hotel facilities such as the gym and swimming pool. Family members are also not allowed to visit, but are allowed to leave needed items at the concierge.

In addition, quarantined Singaporeans are monitored via video calls a minimum of three times a day, plus random checks conducted by immigration department officials. Violators are subject to a fine of 10,000 Singapore dollars and the threat of imprisonment for six months.

To prevent the spread of the corona virus, on March 24, 2020, the Singapore government announced that it was working with several hotel operators (including luxury hotels such as the Hilton, InterContinental Hotels Group and Accor) to provide special quarantine facilities for its citizens returning from the United States and United Kingdom. .

The move is also aimed at helping Singapore's hotel industry, which has been hit by a crisis since the coronavirus pandemic. It is reported that more than 7,500 hotel rooms and apartments have been rented by the government of the lion country for quarantine facilities.
