'Police will enforce the law' - South Yorkshire PCCpublished at 12:42 British Summer Time 15 October 2020
Police officers in South Yorkshire will enforce the new coronavirus rules, the county's Police and Crime Commissioner has said.
Since Wednesday, people living in South Yorkshire can't socialise with people they do not live with indoors, including homes and pubs.
Dr Alan Billings, the South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner, said: "The police have been rightly asked to enforce these new laws.
"This is not something they will enjoy doing, any more than we enjoy having our social lives and liberties curtailed, but no one should doubt that they will enforce the law.
"Fortunately, the law is the same across all districts in the county."
