Dozens of summonses have been issued in New York City over the past few days for violations of new restrictions in COVID clusters.
The city said Sunday that 62 summonses totaling more than $150,000 in fines were handed out by city agents in so-called red, orange and yellow zones that are seeing a spike in cases.
Five of the summonses were given to non-compliant religious congregations, the city said. Fines for violating mass gathering rules can be up to $15,000 a day.
In red zones, including parts of Brooklyn and Queens, houses of worship must limit their capacity to 25% or 10 people maximum. Mass gatherings are prohibited all together and all non-essential businesses must be closed. Restaurants can only offer takeout or delivery and all schools, private and public, must close and move to remote learning.
