SINGAPORE: The last four people in a group of 12 hauled to court for breaking COVID-19 social gathering restrictions were fined S$3,000 each in ...

They had met eight other people on Aug 2 last year, during Phase 2 of Singapore's reopening after a"circuit breaker" that placed curbs on movement to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.The group took a ferry from mainland Singapore to St John's Island at about 11am, before walking to Lazarus Island where they spent the day doing leisure activities together.

"With the benefit of hindsight, they realise the severity of their actions," he said, adding that the fines for breaches during the circuit breaker and breaches in Phase 2 should be different. "We are curious as to why the defence is raising this again. We said previously that there should be no difference between the treatment of cases during and after the circuit breaker," said Mr Koh."The regulations or purpose behind the regulations is the same, and it is to guard against the outbreak of COVID-19."
