A man who breached the curfew which is in place to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was yesterday sentenced to one hour of standing and displaying a curfew notice.

The police yesterday said that Romal Gardner was charged for breach of restriction to home. He appeared at the Diamond/Golden Grove Magistrate’s Court.

“Breach of restriction to home, in contravention of No.1 Restriction of the COVID-19 Emergency Measures #53/2020, contrary to Section 21 (2) of the Public Health Ordinance, Chapter 145”, was the charge, the police said.

In a photograph which was dispatched to the media yesterday, Gardner was seen holding a placard reading “I have breached the curfew. COVID-19 is deadly. Please stay indoors. Order by the court. Diamond/Golden Grove”.
