SINGAPORE - Close to 50 people were caught on Thursday for not wearing their masks in public on the first day that the mandatory rule was enforced.
In a Facebook post, Mr Masagos noted that a"small number of people" are becoming complacent despite cases of Covid-19 infection continuing to rise here. He added:"We all know that if we do not play our part to observe the circuit breaker strictly, the 28 days may not be enough to break the chain of transmission, don't we?"
Mr Masagos said that while it has not been easy for people to adjust to spending most of their time at home and observing the safe distancing measures, doing so is critical to effectively containing the virus.
