These will become the key factors in sentencing. If it does not cause further spread of the virus and does not cause a large area of ​​people to be quarantined, it may face a fixed-term imprisonment of less than three years, but if it causes the new crown virus to spread and cause a large area of ​​people to be quarantined, it may be sentenced to more than three years and seven years. imprisonment for the following".
