The five women and seven men were each given one charge of breaching a COVID-19 regulation by taking part in a social gathering with more than four other people who were not from their household.They allegedly went to the island between 11am and 6pm on Aug 8 and violated prevailing prohibitions on social gatherings.
They were charged in pairs on Friday, and were all represented, with three lawyers turning up to defend various accused persons. The lawyer for the remaining accused persons tried unsuccessfully to ask for no bail to be imposed for his clients, but the prosecutor said bail had previously been given for a similar summons case, where people were charged over gatherings at Robertson Quay.The Singapore Land Authority, which filed the charges, said in a previous statement that the Government"takes a serious view against violation of safe distancing measures".
