An overseas Filipino worker in Hong Kong has been fined HK$5,000 or at least Php30,000 for not following health protocols.
Philippine Consul General in Hong Kong Raly Tejada shared on Facebook the penalty of an unnamed Filipino for not following the use of face mask and social distancing.
“Lagi po nating sundin ang mga alituntunin ng Hong Kong ukol sa pagsusuot ng facemask sa pampublikong lugar at social distancing,” Tejada reminded OFWs in Hong Kong.
