The Romanian Police Decreases the Number of Fines Applied Due to the Coronavirus

The Romanian Police has announced the number of fines applied in the last 24 hours due to the non-compliance with the preventive measures against the Coronavirus, and we are talking about a decrease in the figures from the last few weeks, which seems to be good news, if it is about compliance with the rules.

"In the last 24 hours, 1.940 calls were registered to the single emergency number 112 and 846 to the TELVERDE line (0800 800 358), opened specifically for informing citizens.

As a result of the violation of the provisions of Law no. 55/2020 regarding some measures to prevent and combat the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the police and gendarmes applied, on April 27, 4.153 contraventional sanctions, in the amount of 782.110 lei.

Also, through the competent structures of the Police, 2 criminal files were drawn up yesterday for thwarting the fight against diseases, an act provided for and punished by art. 352 Criminal Code.

We remind citizens that the Ministry of Internal Affairs operationalized, starting on 04.07.2020, a TELVERDE line (0800800165) where violations of health protection rules can be reported.

The calls are taken by a dispatcher, in an integrated system, and distributed to the territorial structures to verify the reported aspects."
