Social media influencers kicked out of Bali for face-mask prank
A pair of social media influencers will be booted from Bali over a prank video that featured one sporting a painted-on virus mask that broke Covid-19 rules. Authorities in Bali said Friday that they would deport US-based Taiwanese YouTuber Josh Paler Lin and Russian influencer Leia Se over the stunt that went viral.
In the video, Lin expresses surprise that few people seem to notice Se walking around a Bali supermarket with the painted-on blue mask. She applied the make-up after store security initially turned away the maskless Russian. The clip sparked outrage in Bali, where virus cases and deaths have been climbing. Foreigners can be hit with a fine of one million rupiah ($70) for not wearing a mask in Bali and face deportation for the second offence. But authorities decided to boot out the pair over their prank. "We plan to deport them," said Jamaruli Manihuruk, head of Bali's legal and justice office. "It has to wait until flights to their respective countries are available -- hopefully soon."
Lin, 32, who regularly posts prank videos to his 3.4 million subscribers on YouTube, has already deleted the clip and apologised. "I made this video to entertain people because I'm a content creator and it is my job to entertain people," Lin said in an online apology. "However, I did not realise that what I did could actually bring a lot of negative comments," he added.

Up to 75% of staff allowed back at workplaces from April 5
More employees will be allowed back at their workplaces from April 5, as the Government shifts from treating work-from-home arrangements as a default to allowing a more flexible and hybrid way of working.

But 'don't get too excited' says Minister Lawrence Wong
Movement restrictions in Singapore will ease further come April 5 as the spread of Covid-19 infections within the community has remained low in the past month, averaging at around two per week.
Starting April 5, 75% of the employees – who are presently able to work from home – can now be at the workplace at any one time. This is up from the current 50% cap. With this, employers can shift from having working-from-home as a default to a more flexible and hybrid way of working. Split team arrangements will also no longer be mandatory, although companies may continue to adopt such arrangements for business continuity, should they choose to do this. However, restrictions against cross-deployment across workplaces will remain in place, the multi-ministry taskforce elaborated.
Singapore’s restrictions are being eased in a “controlled, deliberate and steady manner” following the hard work that has gone into curbing the spread of the coronavirus, explains Education Minister Lawrence Wong. The co-chair of the multi-ministry taskforce cautioned that we should not “get too excited” as there is still the possibility of new, unpredictable challenges that may come about. Lower infection rates are also expected as more individuals receive vaccination. As of Mar 23, some 1.1 million Covid-19 vaccine doses had been administered, the Covid-19 multi-ministry taskforce revealed in a virtual press conference on Wednesday.
Singapore plans to ease COVID-19 measures from April 5
Authorities plan to ease some restrictions from April 5 due to lower COVID-19 activity in the country. Officials will allow up to 75 percent of staff to be present at the workplace at a given time.

Other curbs, such as spacing work stations one meter apart from each other, remain in place. Essential services, including medical and food retailers, can operate on-site with full staff capacity.
Additionally, a maximum of 750 attendees can attend business events, with safeguards like dividing the participants to zone of at most 50 people each, from April 24. Authorities will allow up to 750 people in sports events with controls like pre-event testing. Officials will also increase the cap for marriage solemnizations and wedding receptions to 250 people with protocols like pre-event testing from April 24. Most social gatherings will remain limited to eight people.
The government maintains its Disease Outbreak Response System Condition (DORSCON) at Orange, the second-highest level, indicating some human-to-human transmission in the country. Authorities continue to require people to practice health protocols, including wearing facemasks in public. Foreign workers staying in dormitories must download the TraceTogether application and FWMOMCare health monitoring application.
