The fine for private individuals breaking state of emergency requirements is between EUR 10 to 2,000.
"If you have information about someone who is not observing the restrictions in place on assembly, self-isolation or physical distance, take action and call the police - 110! ? You are one call away to possibly save someone's life and reduce the spread of the virus!" the State Police said on their Facebook page.
