Belgian prince attracts penalty for breaking lockdown measures

The fine of $11,800 has been imposed on Belgian Prince Joachim, who has been found to have violated the measures imposed to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in Spain.

The Prince actually reached Spain to take part in an internship program. He was supposed to observe a 14 day quarantine period. But, on the second day of his arrival he violated the rule by attending a public function.

He later contracted the disease.

He has apologized for the mistake he committed. He has expressed his willingness to face the legal consequences of his irresponsible action.  

He is supposed to pay the fine amount within a timeframe of 15 days. If he does, he only have to pay the half of what he has been asked to pay.

If he fails to do so, he may attract severe legal action.

The issue has attracted serious global attraction. Many have commended on this issue in certain social media platforms. In the coming days, more discussions are expected to happen over why certain high profile persons find happiness in violating the measures imposed to save the world from the clutches of the Covid-19 outbreak.V
