Argumentation:
First, offenders will continue to ignore government-recommended health protocols if they are not sanctioned. By being given sanctions, the will feel deterred and ashamed so that they will obey the rules given in the future.
Second, by giving sanctions to violators, they will understand responsibility. Not only doest it prevent us from being infected by viruses, but adhering to health protocols also keeps other safe.
We many not feel infected, but at least we prevent bad things from happening by continuing to keep our distance and wearing masks. That way, we will fulfill our responsibilities to ourselves and others.
Reiteration:
Finally, sanctioning violators will make them more aware of the dangers of Covid-19. It is said that WHO declared Covid-19 as a pandemic, which means this virus is very dangerous, so it is best to continue to maintain health and avoid Covid-19.
Therefore, health protocol violators should be penalized for the reasons mentioned above.
