Gujarat HC orders community service at Covid centers for not wearing face mask

Those not wearing face masks will have to do this special punishment, according to Gujarat High Court. The High Court on Wednesday directed the state government to come out with a policy to send all those caught not wearing face masks for community service at any Covid care center run.

The court in its order said, violators would do at least four to five hours non-medical duty at any Covid-care centre for five to fifteen days, as decided by the authority.

The violators will have to do work such as cleaning, housekeeping, cooking, helping, serving, preparation of the record, data-keeping, etc.

Such a service would be in addition to a fine. The nature of the duty assigned would be as per the age, qualification, gender, and status of violators.

The government will need to submit a status report regarding compliance on December 24.

The court’s directives were in response to Vishal Awtani’s plea.
