Wait really? I've seen/heard no indication of such, but a fair bit to suggest otherwise. Is this a very recent development? (Any links you can share?)

  In Bavaria very similar rules have been in force since Friday night already. Yesterday evening the bavarian police published a statement that they did "thousands of checks" and found "dozens of violations". They say that overall most people are following the rules. This is the official statement, but some newspapers seem to have more details: https://www.polizei.bayern.de/news/presse/aktuell/index.html/311445 https://www.polizei.bayern.de/news/presse/aktuell/index.html...

    ...you're talking about Germany? The comment I was replying to was "in a lot of places in the U.S. people are being told to stay home unless they have a specific, approved reason to go out".

      You are right, I misread your answer. Germany at least seems to be handing out fines.

  A Chicago neighborhood has this: > The Oak Park order is in effect until April 3, which means local schools will be closed a week longer than the governor has commanded. While the order states that violations can result in a misdemeanor criminal charge, Mayor Anan Abu-Taleb said the goal is not to place people in jail, but rather to use the ordinance to explain the gravity of the COVID-19 pandemic. https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:I-uzFmgViQcJ:https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-illinois-coronavirus-shelter-in-place-20200319-ffztqjn34nggnfifb2uwznj3um-story.html+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:I-uzFm...

    Yeah, exactly. It's similar in other counties. Instead of enforcing, they're basically telling people they won't enforce. It's actively making people not take it seriously.

They are absolutely getting enforced by the police.
