These examples are just what get highlighted.

Breathing out more heavily increases the distance required for "social distancing". That impacts on the others that were walking along that path.

The supervisor can be heard telling him that he "can run" but "it is a problem when the people pass you by."

The 2 "ladies" were from 2 different households and were meeting up.

A "group of friends" from different addresses told police they had driven from Manchester to Uttoxeter to visit McDonald's.
Staffordshire Police said the four occupants of the car, which was stopped in Uttoxeter on Friday night, were all fined £200.
The force tweeted the group did not have "legitimate reasons to be here other than going to McDonald's!"
The force reminded people to "stay at home unless necessary".
Police said they stopped the car at the McDonald's on the A50, just off the B5030 & A518.
Manchester to Uttoxeter is an approximately 68-mile (109km) journey.

Of course they were going to McDonald's and not somewhere else.

Police have seized a VW Golf on the M62 after spotting it travelling at 90mph in the snow.
When officers pulled over the car they discovered it had not been taxed since September 2020 and seized the vehicle.
When questioning the driver and the two passengers they discovered they were from three different households and were in breach of Covid-19 regulations.
The trio told officers they were heading from Manchester to West Yorkshire to buy a takeaway meal.

Another group with fake excuses.
