BC's public safety minister says those who continue to break COVID-19 public health orders may face more than a fine.

It comes as recent numbers show more than half of the total fines handed out were over the last month.

Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth says recent incidents, such as a Vancouver couple pretending to cough on people at a gym, are reprehensible and repugnant.

But Farnworth adds that many people appear to be following the rules.

119 tickets have been issued in past 2 weeks.

Since Aug. 21st last year, a total of 693 tickets have been issued.

Among the tickets issued during past 2 weeks, 16 tickets were of 2,300 dollars.
