The pink bracelet/tag dilemma


WE read the article titled “Cops: Man with pink bracelet in viral image not breaching quarantine, tag was to enter free trade complex” (The Star, Oct 20; online at bit.ly/star_pink) with great interest.

We believe similar incidents have happened before, where people were wrongly accused of violating Covid-19 quarantines simply because they were wearing a pink bracelet or tag on their wrist.
