Chemnitz (dpa / sn) - The police and the municipalities in Saxony have announced increased corona controls in the next few days.

The city of Chemnitz announced on Wednesday that a focus will be on those areas where it is mandatory to wear a mouth and nose cover.

If people did not show understanding, fines would be payable.

The Leipzig police stated that violations of the Corona Protection Ordinance would now be consistently punished. So far, communication has often been the focus.
