Are you going to arrest him? Take him away from his parents saying they are unfit parents?
My experience here is like Alan's--people are working hard to wear masks and socially distance and do everything that is requested of them.
Assuming people are ill intentioned or criminals because they might be carriers of a disease--we still have to live together, and this does not help at all.
