The City of Winnipeg says no fines were doled out for COVID-19 public health order violations over the Easter weekend. Last week the city said a crew of city workers would start patrolling Winnipeg parks and public spaces looking to break-up large groups and educate the public on how to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
On Tuesday the city said the crews, known as Community Service Ambassadors (CSA), as well as By-Law Enforcement Officers did 234 patrols in parks, open spaces, and athletic fields over the weekend.
The crews reported 819 “positive interactions” but the city says they also gave 12 verbal warnings about social distancing, 32 warnings about closed facilities, and one warning to a large group.
