The ordinance is bad in law. How one can decide who is an intentional infector? One can say person is a negligent infector, but an ‘ intentional’ infector? How a motive can be proved in such circumstances? The ordinance should be challenged in the Apex Court.
Once a person is advised home quarantine, or has been diagnosed as infected, or has been hospitalized due to infection, he/ she cannot be considered Ill informed. If such a person deliberately acts in a manner facilitating the spread of the infection, then that person is criminally liable. There are precious human lives involved, and cannot be risked by such criminal acts. As this infection is vastly different in its nature,the world has not witnessed, it will take a new approach to contain it.
Such laws are not going to help the fight against the coronavirus.
