A total of 3,203 fines were issued by police forces in England between March 27 and April 13 for alleged breaches of the new coronavirus lockdown laws.
However, not all areas have seen the same number of fines.
Lancashire had the highest number of fines in England with 380 handed out. Meanwhile, Humberside had the lowest, with only two issued by police.
Members of the public as old as 100 were slapped with a £60 penalty, that is reduced to £30 if paid within two weeks.
A third of the fines went to those aged 18-24, with a further third going to those aged 25-34. In total 26 people aged between 65 to 100 also received notices.
Police said that 83 people were brought straight to court for allegedly breaking the rules.
It comes as 39 fines issued to children for alleged breaches of coronavirus lockdown rules have had to be withdrawn due to the law exempting under-18s from fixed penalty notices.
The new lockdown rules have proved controversial, with some posts on social media accusing police of being over-zealous.
Home Secretary Priti Patel warned the public not to blow the police enforcement of coronavirus rules out of proportion based on a few social media posts.
Ms Patel said that the majority of police officers were following the guidance “really well” but would be “unafraid to act” if people put lives at risk by not doing the right thing.
