over charges of exposing others to the risk of COVID-19 has been remanded and given new charges.
Chua was charged last year with two counts of exposing others to the risk of infection. He was accused of failing to stay home in August 2020 despite receiving a medical certificate ordering him to stay home for five days as he had an acute respiratory infection. He is accused of repeating this offence in December 2020 while he was on medical leave for acute respiratory infection and had not yet received a negative COVID-19 test result.
By his actions, Chua allegedly exposed his grandmother, his friend and other people at those locations to the risk of contracting COVID-19.
