A British man has been sentenced to two weeks in jail and fined just over £540 for breaking a coronavirus quarantine order in Singapore to visit his fiancee.
Nigel Skea, 52, from Southampton, is the first Briton to be jailed for flouting coronavirus rules in the city-state.
Skea left his room at the Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore on three occasions last September, according to charge sheets. He was not wearing a mask. On one occasion, he climbed an emergency stairwell and entered a room that his Singaporean fiancee had booked. They spent nine hours together.
