A 64-year-old Singaporean of Indian origin was sentenced to two weeks jail on Monday on pleading guilty to one count of breaching a COVID-19 regulation by failing to wear a mask that covered his nose and mouth while outside his home in 2021. Despite knowing that he had just tested positive for COVID-19, Tamilselvam Ramaiya deliberately coughed at his colleagues, lowering his mask to do so on one occasion.
Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya visited the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi, on Thursday to meet the Covid-infected doctors and healthcare workers.
