WATCH: Wrongfully convicted man hopes for release as coronavirus hits prisons.
SINGAPORE — An American cargo pilot who admitted to “poor judgment” in breaking a quarantine order to buy medical supplies became the first foreigner imprisoned in Singapore for breaching its restrictions meant to curb the coronavirus, his lawyer said Friday.
Singapore has one of the largest outbreaks in Asia, with 26,000 cases. More than 90% of those infected are foreign workers living in crowded dormitories, while the government recently began easing restrictions for the local population. "This first phase of reopening is an important step in demonstrating our ability to operate safety and effectively, even in the current environment," the letter states.
