«In most cases, all fines were imposed upon obtaining information from a call received by a police operator and during monitoring whether public transport drivers and passengers comply with quarantine rules (carriers got fined for non-compliance with restrictions on the number of people in transport and for the fact that drivers and passengers did not wear masks). The compliance with quarantine rules at entertainment venues during nighttime was monitored as well»,
