A WOMAN who went out onto the street on Sunday became the first person in Palma to be sanctioned for disobeying the state of alarm restrictions on movement to contain coronavirus contagions. According to reports she was walking in the Gesa park in front of the seafront promenade when a pair of police officers spotted her and told her several times to go back home. She allegedly refused, and so was made to get in the police vehicle and taken to the police station, where she was identified. The police have submitted a proposal to fine the woman to the Government delegation. She could therefore be looking at paying a minimum of €600.
