Coronavirus: A couple was fined for kissing in public

Specifically, the incident took place in Milan, where the couple, an Italian and a woman from Poland, kissed on the street but were confronted by four police officers who were fined 400 euros for violating the measures of social distance.

The issue escalated after the couple complained that the police showed excessive zeal, although they were informed that they have been engaged for two and a half years, according to what Mega broadcast.

The Italian police asked for some evidence, eg a joint address. Men and women officially have different places of residence. They showed the police photos from their engagement and other snapshots they had on their cell phones, but they were not convinced.

Things got complicated as the Polish woman did not speak Italian, only English. The police fined them for not keeping a distance of one meter since they were not wearing a mask and are not members of the same family.
