In July 873 corona fines have been imposed on citizens

Posted on Jul 28, 2021 by Ifi Reporter - Dan Bielski

From the beginning of July until July 27, 873 corona fines imposed on citizens in July were collected at the Center for the Collection of Fines. 535 fines were imposed for not wearing a mask and 295 fines for breach of insulation. Just for comparison, in July 2020, the public was given about 57,000 corona fines for not wearing a mask.
Although last summer the obligation to wear masks also applied in open spaces, so it makes sense that more fines were imposed at that time, but only two weeks ago Bennett stated that he instructed the Israel Police to expand enforcement on wearing masks. "A citizen in a closed place without a mask will be required to pay a high fine, that is the fair thing, because it does not make sense for there to be people who will harm the rest of the public," Bennett said at the press conference. Horowitz also clarified on the same occasion that police enforcement on solitary confinement will soon increase.
The Center for the Collection of Fines in the Enforcement and Collection Authority collects the corona fines imposed by the police. As of July 27, 2021, the Enforcement and Collection Authority had received 579,595 Corona fines since the outbreak of the plague, of which 282,251 reports remained unpaid. The data does not include 84,695 incorrect or canceled fines. The total number of reports distributed is NIS 340 million. , And the public's debt, including interest, currently stands at about NIS 273 million. To date, 297,344 fines have been paid in the total amount of NIS 180 million. Recall that the recipients of the fine have up to 90 days to pay it.
242 fines were distributed in Jerusalem in July, and 89,624 from March 2020; In Tel Aviv, 93 fines were distributed in July and 32,863 in March last year; In Haifa July 48 and a total of 12,026, and in Be'er Sheva July 10 and a total of 10,866.
The director of the center for collecting fines at the Enforcement and Collection Authority, Doron Infrastructure, said that "the center is currently collecting fines given in recent months. In the last week alone, about 9,000 fines were paid in considerable amounts. For the benefit of the debtors, the focus of the Enforcement and Collection Authority is where they can receive guidance on how to apply for the reduction of arrears accumulated in justified circumstances.
