health hotel

Whereas quarantine hotels are for those people who need to be in quarantine (mostly international travellers and locals who cannot safely self-isolate at home), the health hotel is for any person in that group who is shown to have COVID-19 or who have symptoms that are regarded as suspicious.  They are removed from the quarantine group and sent to the health hotel to lessen the risk that they will spread the virus to others.

 Another subtlety is the complex-care hotel which takes those people in quarantine who have special health conditions requiring close medical attention.

 While health hotel at first suggests an enjoyable place to get fit, the reality is that it is a hotel run by the Department of Health in each state.
