SINGAPORE: More than 10 repeat offenders will face a fine of S$1,000 for continued breaches of safe distancing measures during the COVID-19 outbreak, including not wearing a mask in public spaces, Environment and Water Resources Minister Masagos Zulkifli said in a Facebook post on Sunday .
“More than 240 face a fine for not complying with safe distancing measures. Another 120 face a fine for not wearing a mask outside their homes,” Mr Masagos added, noting these numbers were higher than the day before.As the country tries to contain the spread of the coronavirus, Mr Masagos voiced his concern over people gathering for a prolonged period at popular markets like Geylang Serai Market.
“We saw long queues at several markets again this weekend. At 8am this morning, for instance, there were around 200 people queuing at Geylang Serai Market, and the average waiting time to get into the market was at least 30 minutes,” the minister said. He compared it to Tekka Market where there was “no queue”, and the market at 505 Jurong West where the queue was “short and fast-moving”.
