Terence Cao, Jeffrey Xu, Shane Pow apologise for breaking Covid-19 rules at birthday celebration

December 23, 2020
Shin Min Daily News
Birthdays are supposed to be joyous occasions where family and friends gather for celebration, but those were all pre-Covid days.
Under phase 2 regulations, social gatherings should be limited to five people, birthday celebrations included, to keep everyone safe during the pandemic – and even celebrities are not exempted from the rules.
According to the reader, Jeffrey posted an Instagram story on Oct 3 and while the photo did not have a date, there was evidence to prove that it had been taken two months ago, the Chinese daily reported.
"One of the artistes in the photo, Terence, had sent a congratulatory message to wish Jeffrey a happy birthday and even posted a photo of them together," the reader said. "I kept the link but it expired as the post and photo had already been removed."
