A police force in northwest England on Monday withdrew fines that were issued last week to two women for allegedly breaking CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus restrictions.

Jessica Allen and Eliza Moore, both 27, who both live near the border between Derbyshire and Leicestershire, went for a walk on Jan. 6 at a beauty spot in their neighbouring county. Each woman was issued with a £200 ($270) fixed penalty notice (FPN) after police said they broke the government’s rule on staying local.
