Look, it wasn’t just us warning people last week to be more careful to play this game in these strange and uncertain times?
BBC rEPORTS a man in England –a currently blocked nation in an attempt to reduce a rate of rampant infection resulting from a new, more contagious strain of Covid-19 – violated the strict country restrictions to play some Pokémon Go, and as a result was caught and fined by local police.
A fine of £ 200 ($ 270) was for “breach of the requirement not to leave or be out of place without a reasonable excuse”, after admitting to police that he drove from his home in Bedworth to look for the characters in Kenilworth ”, a journey of about 25 minutes by car.
Police say people are allowed outside their homes only with a “reasonable excuse.” Searching for Pokémon is not a reasonable excuse.
