A teenager went to a supermarket amid the Covid-19 outbreak in early February and took two bottles of fruit juice from a refrigerated shelf.
Nigel Pang, 18, then sampled both drinks before replacing them on the shelf.
Quek Xuan Zhi, 17, recorded his friend’s antics and posted the video on Instagram, via an Instastory, with the caption “How to spread Wuhan virus”.
Wuhan, a city in China, was the epicentre of the Covid-19 outbreak at the time.
In an earlier statement, the police said an acquaintance recorded a copy of the video and circulated it online. This caused public alarm and concern.
The two Singaporean teenagers each pleaded guilty yesterday to one count of being a public nuisance.
Around 6.45pm on Feb 6, they had gone to a FairPrice outlet in Bukit Batok West Avenue 7 and Pang helped himself to the drinks. Quek posted the video on Instagram using an account that had more than 1,300 followers at the time.
