As many as 700 quarantine violations lat day: police

Last day, police officers throughout the country checked almost 132,000 persons being subject to forced quarantine. In about 700 cases, irregularities qualifying for punishment were found, as inspector Mariusz Ciarka, Police Headquarters’ spokesman, said.

He reminded that at present officers no longer carry out checks consisting of daily checking of persons quarantined, and the so-called random checks shall be conducted.

He warned that people who violate the law and avoid quarantine must face severe consequences, as do those who gather in more than two, or who violate movement orders and bans.

Quarantine is imposed on healthy persons who have been in contact with infected persons or suspected of coronavirus infection. It lasts for 14 days.
