On Feb. 8, two students in Singapore found themselves receiving plenty of unwanted attention after a video of them went viral.

In the 26-second video, one of them was "sampling" juice in a supermarket and putting it back on the shelf, while another filmed the process.

The caption in the video read "How to spread Wuhan".

Hours after the incident, the duo released an apology and asked for a "second chance."

They added that such videos will not appear on their pages again.

FairPrice aware of incident

On Feb. 10, NTUC FairPrice updated on Facebook that they are working with authorities on the incident.

Although the video did not explicitly name the location, a staff that appeared in frame wore a uniform that was largely similar to FairPrice's.

In their post, FairPrice acknowledged the incident, and noted that the students have paid for the items after consuming them.

However, they also viewed the matter "very seriously" as the prank video has caused "unnecessary public alarm, exacerbated by the current coronavirus situation."

The supermarket will be working with the authorities on the necessary actions to take.

In the meantime, members of the public are discouraged from circulating the video, in order to avoid "further public distress".
