THE PSNI has asked people to stay at home over the bank holiday weekend.
In a tweet, the PSNI has urged people to keep traffic on the roads to a minimum to allow essential goods and services to be provided.
The plea comes as the police say there has been an increase of traffic on the roads.
Assistant Chief Constable Alan Todd says there have been “significant week on week increases in traffic since lockdown began”.
“Each week has seen a step up in traffic across the week and across most locations,” said ACC Todd.
“Some of that will be due to commercial activity, businesses that were closed have reopened.
“But there are clearly people who do not have the same discipline around keeping to the restrictions.”
Police will continue with checkpoints along the border this bank holiday weekend to prevent non-essential travel.
The message still is to stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives.
Only go out for one hour’s exercise per day, for essential food and medicines.
Don’t meet up with family and friends and keep social distancing to two metres.
