Ontario Provincial Police have laid out possible consequences if emergency closure orders that were issued by the Ford government earlier this week aren’t followed. “(OPP) wants to ensure everyone is aware of how police services are expected to respond to the Government of Ontario’s recent health emergency declaration related to limiting transmission of COVID-19,” the force said in a news release Friday. “Although voluntary compliance is always preferred, under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act, there are consequences for individuals and businesses that choose to defy the act while it is in force.” Police said the Provincial Offences Act has been updated to include new offences for police to enforce.
