OPN 210218 EDIT — REPORTING COVID-19 RESULTS IS A MUST: The UAE Federal Public Prosecution’s public reminder that people infected with COVID-19 must inform health authorities is extremely significant. This is especially true in the case of asymptomatic patients who may think there is no need to report their condition and go about their daily grind. Not only is this a violation that could incur a jail term and a fine of Dh10,000-Dh50,000, it is also a huge disservice to the community as such patients can end up as super spreaders without their even knowing it.

1.2120000-179224769 — SPEAKING AGAINST HATE: Actress Olivia Munn is the latest star to speak out about the spate of hate crimes against Asians in the US. Actors such as Daniel Dae Kim, Daniel Wu and Gemma Chan have already voiced their concerns over the brutal, racist treatment that has sometimes been caught on tape. In the incident Munn talks about, an elderly woman is seen being shoved onto the pavement by a younger man. It’s shocking to see such a violent act take place, especially to an innocent senior citizen. Celebrities speaking out will hopefully inspire more people to take notice and ensure action is taken against perpetrators.
