A CLEETHORPE­S business has been hit with a Covid fine for breaking lockdown rules.

Officers visited the business today but are yet to say which premises breached the restrictio­ns. Humberside

Po l ice announced the fine as they shared a picture of the street on social media. Venues that open illegally during coronaviru­s restrictio­ns could face a fine of up to £10,000 per day.

Essential shops are allowed to open, and restaurant­s can offer takeaways and deliveries, but most businesses are required to stay closed.

Assistant Chief Constable of Humberside Police Chris Noble said that it was important to continue following rules and controllin­g the spread of Covid in the final phase of lockdown.

He said: “Over the last few weeks we have seen great progress being made in vaccinatin­g our most vulnerable and although this progress is being made, we are currently still in a national lockdown and urge everyone to remain focused and vigilant. “Preventing the spread of the virus must remain a top priority for everyone and it’s vital we all play our part and follow the restrictio­ns in place to protect our loved ones and communitie­s.

“Until notified otherwise, nonessenti­al businesses must remain closed.

“Those that are allowed within the restrictio­ns to remain open must follow the regulation­s, taking the necessary precaution­s to keep everyone safe, such as with social distancing and the wearing of face coverings.

“We will continue to engage with business owners, using enforcemen­t where required, and support our colleagues in the local authoritie­s where further enforcemen­t action is required.

“Our approach of engaging, explaining and encouragin­g, with enforcemen­t as a last resort, has worked really well throughout the pandemic, and the majority of people and businesses have followed all of the necessary steps in ensuring public safety.

“For the latest advice and guidance surroundin­g what constitute­s essential and non-essential business, please visit the government website.”
