(Taipei City Police Department image) TAIPEI (Taiwan News) A couple was ticketed by Taipei police for removing their masks inside their car to drink water on a hot summer day. At approximately 4 p.m. on July 8, having just finished shopping while dutifully wearing their masks in the Beitou branch of Costco in Taipei, a man surnamed Chen (陳) and his wife began to drive back home. Thirsty from the sweltering July heat, the couple took off their masks to drink some water. However, a police officer soon ordered Chen to pull over and roll down his window. Seeing that neither passenger was wearing a mask, the officer informed them they would be fined for violating epidemic prevention rules.
