"Singapore took drastic measures on Thursday to enforce quarantine orders on hundreds of people suspected of exposure to SARS, including mounting webcams in homes and threatening to use electronic wrist bands," according to Reuters.
Nine of the 490 people ordered to stay home have broken the quarantine, despite a fine of over $5,000. More than 2,800 people have been infected with SARS, and just over 100 people worldwide have died.
