SINGAPORE: A chef who had COVID-19 symptoms was required by law to stay home on medical leave for five days, but he ignored the doctor's instructions and continued to go to work.

Malaysian Lau Zhi Zhang, 25, was jailed for five months on Monday . He pleaded guilty to two counts of exposing others to the risk of infection, under the Infectious Diseases Act. Another two charges were considered in sentencing. On the morning of Mar 31, 2020, Lau went to a clinic in Circuit Road with a temperature of 37.7 degrees Celsius. He was diagnosed with an upper respiratory tract infection and issued a medical certificate from Mar 31 to Apr 4, 2020.

Knowing that Lau had been issued a medical certificate, Lau's colleague told him not to go to work, but Lau said he was already on his way. They met at Telok Ayer MRT Station and walked to Napoleon together. On Apr 4, Lau met the same colleague as they had a job interview at another restaurant named Picotin in the Upper Bukit Timah area.
