Is it fair to fine people for breaking Level 5 rules?

Opposition parties have been continuing to raise concerns over to fine people for breaching public health guidelines related to Covid 19. On the spot fines could be €500, while there could also be small fines for those who throw house parties, or those who break the 5km travel restrictions.
