Israeli authorities have fined over 50,136 residents for violating restrictions imposed to curb the coronavirus outbreak.
The fines included more than 39, 770 for crowding in public places, and over 5,992 for gathering in banned places.
The police said that citizens are not following instructions, meaning that they are underestimating the pandemic and its seriousness.
Meanwhile, Health Ministry Director-General Moshe Bar Siman Tov announced that even though the Health Ministry is trying to "lower the curve", Israel must be prepared for a resurgence of the novel coronavirus during the winter.
On Sunday, the Health Ministry reported 100 new cases of coronavirus, bringing the total to 15,398, including 132 patients in serious conditions.
The death toll reached 200, while 6,602 patients have completely recovered.
The Ministry's data showed a sharp rise in the frequency of coronavirus cases in a number of Arab towns. In one case, 30 people from the same family were infected.
The government began easing coronavirus restrictions on Sunday and some companies opened, including exchange offices, car showrooms, beauty parlors and hairdressers.
The new regulations are valid through May 3 and measures to further ease restrictions after that date would be evaluated based on the level of infection.
Stores will be required to take the temperature of their customers as they enter the premises and inquire about any symptoms they might have.
Business owners will also need to monitor entrances to their stores and customers must be asked to wait if too many people are already inside. Owners must appoint a staffer to oversee ensuring coronavirus regulations are followed, including disinfecting internal surfaces and wearing gloves and masks.
The Israeli government is also considering the general plan for resuming public education after it was allowed to resume in private schools.
