By BBN Staff: Commissioner of Police, Chester Williams warned that violators of the COVID-19 regulations that became effective today will now be ticketed.

Williams said that those who violate the curfew, social distancing, and wearing of mask regulations will be issued a $500.00 ticket.

The ticket must be paid within 15 calendar days. Where the ticket is not paid with the stipulated time, the fine shall increase by $10.00 for each day the ticket is not paid. Other offenses are arrestable and carry a fine of $1,000.00.
