IPOH – A 17-year-old girl was slapped with a RM5,000 compound for removing her red Covid-19 wristband to go out while in quarantine.

Taiping district police chief Osman Mamat said the compound was issued under Regulation 17 of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Regulations 2021 (Act 342).

“Police detected a video that had gone viral on social media yesterday showing a girl believed to have removed her red quarantine wristband without permission from the Health Ministry.
