A licensed venue in Belfast has been served with a prohibition notice for breaching the coronavirus guidelines.
Last night (Saturday 5 September), Chief Constable Simon Byrne and the Chief Medical Officer Michael McBride joined officers in Belfast on routine patrol and licensing checks.
They visited bars and restaurants in the city to ensure they were adhering to their responsibilities as required under the Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) Regulations NI 2020.
As a result of this operation, one venue received a prohibition notice.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland is guided by the Licensing (NI) Order 1996 and the Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) Regulations NI 2020 to ensure laws are upheld and people are kept safe.
Police are continuing to work with licensees across Northern Ireland to ensure people can socialise in a safe environment.
