Virus Outbreak: Woman who refused to wear mask on MRT to be finedBy Lee I-chia / Staff reporterA woman who refused to wear a mask, but insisted on getting on a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) train on Sunday, was removed by MRT police and would be fined, Taipei Rapid Transit Corp (TRTC) said yesterday. Passengers wearing masks take the Taipei MRT on Monday after the Central Epidemic Command Center last week announced that all public transport commuters must wear masks in the fight against COVID-19. However, on Sunday, a woman without a mask forced her way into Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall MRT Station and got on a train, it said. Station staff contacted the MRT police to intercept her, and she was escorted off the train when it arrived at Zhongshan MRT Station. On Sunday, the CECC added that taxi drivers can reject passengers who refuse to wear masks.
