During the COVID-19 pandemic, which country had quarantine breakers locked in supposedly haunted houses?

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Indonesia used old and abandoned local houses to lock quarantine breakers up.

In April of 2020, Canadian’s Global News reported on this phenomenon:

If the threat of a global coronavirus pandemic isn’t enough to keep some people indoors, what about the threat of being locked up with “ghosts” in a haunted house?

Lawmakers in Indonesia‘s Sragen region have started confining quarantine violators to abandoned buildings on the island of Java, where local legends suggest the abodes might be haunted. It’s part of a novel effort to motivate a superstitious population through the supernatural when scientific arguments fall short.

Kusdinar Untung Yuni Sukowati, regency head of Sragen, issued the order earlier this week amid a surge in newcomers from other locked-down parts of the country, including the capital city of Jakarta. The order was put in place amid concern that visitors to the island of Java were not self-isolating for 14 days upon their arrival.
