SINGAPORE - More than 200 people were caught by the authorities for not complying with safe distancing measures on Monday , while 80 did not wear a mask outside their homes.
Environment and Water Resources Minister Masagos Zulkifli gave this update on his Facebook page on Monday night, saying that nine of these people breached the measures for a second time and will face fines of $1,000 each. "If these are acts of defiance and irresponsibility, they clearly undermine the efforts that everyone else has been making. What will it take to get them to understand that they are putting everyone's safety at stake," wrote Mr Masagos.
In his Facebook post, he also tried to show how contagious Covid-19 can be, as well as how densely populated cities with close social interaction, like Singapore, are particularly at risk. Citing the World Health Organization, he noted that a carrier of Covid-19 is estimated to infect two other people, who can then go on to infect another two people.
Let’s hope everyone can cooperate during CB period to bring down the local infection cases.
