SINGAPORE - Any group seen gathering in public will immediately be issued a written warning by enforcement officers, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. He warned that the authorities will strictly enforce the «circuit breaker» measures from Thursday (April 9), noting there are still far too many public gatherings taking place. There were still crowds seen in nature reserves, markets and other places, on the third day of strict measures that include closing most workplaces and barring social gatherings of any size in homes or public spaces like parks. Those caught flouting the rules for the first time will be issued a stern written warning, said Minister for the Environment and Water Resources Masagos Zulkifli in a Facebook post on Thursday. Second-time offenders will be fined $300, and those nabbed a third time will be charged in court. In a Facebook post, PM Lee said the number of new Covid-19 cases is increasing sharply, and that people must comply with stay home measures «very strictly». Singapore reported 142 new coronavirus cases on Wednesday, taking the total number of reported cases here to 1,623. Read more
