Those included people travelling to attend parties and people who had travelled into Gwent to see snow.
A spokesman for Gwent Police said: "The vast majority of Gwent played their part in slowing the spread of Covid-19 over the festive period by staying home.
"However, we issued almost 60 FPNs to those who endangered others by flouting the restrictions."
