The Police stepped up enforcement over Sukkot in an effort to stop the spread of coronavirus, giving out the highest number of tickets for breaking Health Ministry restrictions in a single day so far.
Police administered about 7,000 fines: 5,171 who were in places that they were not supposed to be; 1,415 to people not wearing masks; 98 for breaking isolation; and 209 for gathering in a sukkah against protocol.
“The Police will continue with increased operational activity throughout the country in order to maintain public peace, security and health,” it said in a statement on Friday.
