about with law enforcement officers in the small town to ensure there’s compliance with regulations regarding Level-4.
“What we noticed was that all the elderly people we came across with were wearing masks.
“All of those who were arrested for not wearing masks are young people, so this tells you that generally people are aware of the fact that it’s compulsory to wear a mask when in public spaces, we’re just dealing with a few young people who’re carelessly defiant. But they’ll face full might of the law,” says Ramaila.
