Rs 2k fine for not wearing mask in Delhi: Effective deterrence vs Covid-19?

Battling the surge in coronavirus cases in Delhi on a war-footing, the AAP government has announced sweeping measures including a steep Rs 2,000 fine for not wearing masks. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said the fine for not wearing masks has been raised from Rs 500 to Rs 2,000. The hard line by the AAP government comes days after Kejriwal repeatedly appealed to Delhiites to wear masks amid a surge in coronavirus cases.
