Starting last Friday, anyone caught without a mask in public places may be subject to a fine up to €100.
Thus, local police have been doing the rounds to ensure mask-wearing in all public places.
Police Inspector Sarah Zerafa stated that it is not out of the ordinary for officers to the rounds, but now there will be a further emphasis on the enforcement of mask-wearing and the patrols will be heavily focused on this.
