On April 23, 2020, a group of individuals in quarantine were eagerly awaiting their release after completing their 14-day term. However, their hopes were shattered when they were informed that they would have to spend an additional two weeks in the camp.

The news was devastating, especially since three of their colleagues had already tested positive for COVID-19. The individuals were confused and frustrated, wondering why they were being held back when they had not shown any symptoms.

According to the individuals, the rules for the quarantine camp were given to them over a week late, and they had not been following them. However, they felt that it was not their fault, and that the rules should have been communicated to them earlier.

The group had been living in the camp for over two weeks, and they were eager to return to their normal lives. They had been following the rules as best as they could, but they felt that they were being unfairly punished.

One of the individuals, who wished to remain anonymous, said, 'We were shocked and disappointed by the news. We had been following the rules as best as we could, but we felt that it was not our fault that we were being held back.'

The group's spokesperson, who was chosen to represent them, tried to negotiate with the authorities to have their release delayed. However, their efforts were unsuccessful, and they were left with no choice but to accept the additional two weeks in the camp.
