Lincolnshire Police said the majority of people stuck to the relaxed lockdown rules as pubs, bars and restaurants reopened to customers outdoors last week.
The most recent stage of the government’s roadmap out of lockdown started on Monday, April 12, allowing for all non-essential retail, gyms, hairdressers and barbers to be among the sectors to be back again.

A force spokesman said: “The most recent stage of the Government’s roadmap out of Lockdown came into play last Monday, April 12.
“Last weekend was the first weekend since bars and pubs could open to customers sitting outdoors under the new rules and we are pleased to say that the majority of people enjoyed their time outside while following these.”
Chief Inspector Andy Morrice said: “We had a very busy weekend in terms of general calls for service – a 20% rise.
“This increase was to be expected as more people are out and about due to restrictions easing.
“We would like to thank the majority of people who have stuck to the rules and we would like to reinforce that lockdown has eased and not ended.
