SINGAPORE: Crime-fighting has continued during the COVID-19 outbreak, albeit with precautionary measures for inmates, suspects and accused persons, agencies told CNA.
Family members of inmates are not allowed to visit their loved ones during the circuit breaker period from Apr 7 to May 4, as SPS has suspended all family visits. Those in custody who need to be quarantined are housed separately from the rest, and a suspect who has flu-like symptoms or is believed to be ill will be referred to a medical practitioner.
For example, the charge courts remain open as arrested persons must be produced in court within 48 hours as per the Criminal Procedure Code. Currently, pre-trial conferences, plead guilty mentions and appeals are heard this way, and video trials are in the works.
