In the inspections, particular attention will be paid to whether the rules of hygiene, masks and physical distance are complied with at events (weddings held in the form of marriage ceremonies, marriages, funerals, condolence gatherings, etc.) and places (beaches, avenues and streets, park areas, etc.) where our citizens are able to gather in crowds.
The effectiveness and visibility of the inspection activities will be kept at the highest level.
During the inspections, emphasis will be placed on activities aimed at guiding and raising the awareness of our citizens. For non-recurring violations arising from momentary practices that are of an immediately remediable nature, proposals will be conveyed to the civil administrative authority for a warning on the first violation, an administrative fine on the second violation, and a suspension of activity penalty of 1 day on the third violation and 3 days on the fourth violation for workplaces, commercial taxis and public transport vehicles.
