Anyone spitting in public will face a 5,000 rupees [$65 /£53] fine according to Dharamshala Commissioner Pradeep Thakur. Thakur added that every possible step is being taken to contain the spread of COVID-19 in Himachal Pradesh, India and the fine had been introduced “as spitting in open areas may lead to spread of the disease”. Selling products which encourage spitting, such as paan (betal leaf) and gum, has also been banned.
