Police receive hundreds of tips about people violating the Coronavirus measures

Police across the country are now getting tips on people breaking quarantine, contagion threats and illegal cabin lodgings.

Police Chief Arne Johannessen of the Sogn and Fjordane Department of the Western Police District tells NRK that absolutely everyone must take national guidelines seriously.

– “It is simply a social responsibility the individual has,” says the police chief.

Trøndelag police received around 115 tips, and the West police district received about 50 tips just over the weekend.

One of the tips resulted in a fine of NOK 20,000. This happened after a young person from Sogn and Fjordane with a proven Coronavirus infection who went to a party. According to NRK, the person in question works in the health care system.
