Police in Wales have fined people for breaching lockdown rules 299 times in the past month, new figures reveal.
People who breach coronavirus restrictions risk a £60 fine, which can rise to £120 for second and subsequent offences - and individuals ignoring the rules risk arrest if they refuse to comply.
But while fines in England could reach as high as £960, that has not been implemented in Wales, with some calling for harsher punishments.
Here are the numbers of fines issued by police forces in Wales between 27 March and 27 April for breaches of coronavirus restrictions:
Dyfed-Powys: 64
Gwent: 63
South Wales: 102
North Wales: 70

Police have issued almost 9,000 fines for breaches of the coronavirus lockdown in England alone, new figures show.
Leaders insist the penalties are being used as a “last resort” when people refuse to voluntarily follow the rules.
A total of 8,877 fines have been handed out in England and 299 in Wales in the month since the law came into force.
Under the Health Protection Regulations, people can be handed £60 fines for being outside without “reasonable excuse” or gathering in groups of more than two.
The amount is reduced to £30 if paid quickly, but can be doubled for repeat offences up to a maximum of £960.
The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) told a press conference that there had been 391 reoffenders in England and Wales, including one person handed six tickets, three people handed five, six handed four and 38 handed three.
Officials could not immediately confirm if anyone had been given the maximum £960 fine.
