80 given warnings for breaking COVID restrictions

Tue, 23 Mar 2021


The Island's police force says eighty people have been officially ‘warned’ for minor first time breaches of Covid-19 regulations since the start of the third lockdown.

New figures also show 17 people have been arrested and three fixed penalty notices have been issued to rulebreakers.

The data covers the period 3 March to 21 March.

Police Headquarters recieved 222 Covid related calls have been made over the 18 day period.

Superintendent Stephen Maddocks said “As always the large majority of the public are adhering strictly to the rules. However, there are still people who think the rules don’t apply to them and we receive a large number of calls on a daily basis reporting potential breaches. The common themes are reports of people leaving their homes after being instructed to self-isolate, businesses continuing to operate without following regulations or workers not wearing masks where social distancing cannot be maintained and people gathering in open spaces."
