Thailand's Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha has been fined $190 for breaching rules aimed at containing the coronavirus by not wearing a face mask, AFP quoted the governor of Bangkok as saying.
"I informed the prime minister this was a violation of rules", Bangkok Governor Aswin Kwanmuang wrote on his official Facebook page.
The prime minister made an inquiry to city hall about the restrictions, which specify that masks should be worn at all times outside residences, prompting his fine, said Aswin.
The move came after a photograph of Prayuth appeared on his Facebook page showing him not wearing a mask in a meeting. The photograph was later removed.
