Some 1,300 fines were handed down to citizens and places of business that were found to be in violation of virus restrictions, Channel 13 reported Saturday. Of those, 900 were given to people who traveled more than 100 meters from their home, a movement restriction issued this week, according to the report.
Since Wednesday at 5 p.m., Israelis have been ordered to remain in their homes unless they are taking part in a small number of specially designated approved activities, including purchasing food and medicine or a short walk of no more than 100 meters (328 feet) from one’s home. Those found violating the regulations are subject to large fines of upwards of NIS 500 ($140) and even imprisonment.
