There were 13 other people who were fined for violating other rules including those related to establishments, or the number of guests in a residence.

From the thousands of inspections carried out across the islands, authorities also found that 4 people were violating the quarantine order, who will receive a fine of €10,000 each.

Meanwhile, over the last week, Gozo District Police arrested and arraigned 2 men for driving a vehicle without a valid license and insurance and breaking bail conditions, among others.
