Schwerin (dpa / mv) - With increased controls to ensure compliance with the Corona rules during Advent shopping, the police in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania found a total of more than 1,800 violations.
Particular attention was paid to distance rules and the wearing of a mask, as the police announced.
In Schwerin, Rostock, Greifswald, Neubrandenburg, Waren and Stralsund, according to the information, many people were out for Christmas shopping on Saturday.
In the smaller towns it was comparatively quiet.
According to their own statements, the Rostock police found 787 violations with more than a hundred emergency services in their area of responsibility.
However, only in a few cases was this accompanied by a complaint.
Most people got away with a verbal warning and were sympathetic, the police said.
In the area of the Neubrandenburg police force, around 90 officers deployed noticed 1,025 violations.
Here too, however, there were mostly warnings.
In Warrenzin in the Mecklenburg Lake District, the police became aware of an illegal public mulled wine bar.
A complaint was made because of the violation of the Corona state ordinance, it said.
