More than 3,000 fines and warnings have been issued since March for breaches of Covid-19 regulations in Northern Ireland, the PSNI has revealed.
The total includes 45 fines of £1,000 for failure to self-isolate.
There were 1,598 penalty notices issued - an increase of 442 in the last three weeks - which impose fines from £60 to £960 and are only issued to over-18s.
On Monday, police also said a further 1,075 community resolution notices (CRNs) had been issued.
CRNs are not Covid-specific notices but can be issued to anyone over the age of 10. They are designed to act as warnings and do not incur any fines.
