SINGAPORE: The prosecution on Friday concluded its case against a couple from China who are accused of withholding information from health officers and obstructing contact tracing,The judge adjourned the case for a pre-trial conference on Sep 11, and said he would decide then whether to call the defence to make its case.Wuhan native Hu Jun, 38, is contesting a charge under the Infectious Diseases Act of deliberately withholding information about his whereabouts and activities.
When contact tracers tried speaking to Hu, who was then warded in Singapore General Hospital, they thought it would be better to also get information from his wife, who knew the country better and was not ill.However, differing accounts soon emerged, and when health officials tried clarifying matters, Shi was reluctant to provide more details, expressing her concern that the media would leak information, the court heard over the week.
Before Shi gave her statement, she took a call from her eldest daughter who was in a quarantine centre, and there was"some shouting over the phone", he said. However, it was still not the complete picture of her steps with her husband as revealed by Grab transport records that health officers obtained from the Land Transport Authority.
