It is not criminal. If a person was caught breaching the Covid rules, they were issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice, that once paid, the recipient waived any criminal liability and no criminal record.
The problem now for the Police, is that there is a statute of limitations of 6 months on such breaches. So if they see any breaches now that happened over 6 months ago, the police have no legal authority to sanction as per the Coronavirus Act.
