Look, we weren’t just warning people Last week be more careful when playing this game in these strange and uncertain times?
O BBC reports a man in England –a nation currently in blockade in an attempt to contain a rampant infection rate due to a new, more contagious strain of Covid-19 – broke the rigid restrictions to play some Pokémon Go, and as a result was captured and fined by the local police.
The £ 200 (USD $ 270) fine was for “violating the requirement not to leave or stay out of the place where they live without a reasonable excuse” after he admitted to the police that he had driven “from his home in Bedworth to look for the characters in Kenilworth, ”a 25-minute drive.
The police say that people can only leave the house with “a reasonable excuse”. Looking for Pokémon is not a reasonable excuse.
