Gujarat High Court on Wednesday has come up with an innovative punishment for those violating Covid-19 norms. It has instructed the state government to formulate policies and send the same to those violating Covid-19 norms. It has directed the government to send all those caught not wearing face masks for compulsory community service at any Covid care centre.

 The court in its order said violators would do non-medical duty at any Covid-care centre for at least four to five hours, for five to fifteen days, as decided by the authority.

The violators will have to do work such as cleaning, housekeeping, cooking, helping, serving, preparing records, data-keeping, etc.

Offering such services would be in addition to a fine.
