The City of Winnipeg remains committed to focusing on public education instead of issuing tickets to people not following social distancing rules.
On Wednesday, 99 warnings were given to Winnipeggers. A total of 87 warnings were given to people at closed facilities, seven warnings were given to large groups and another five warnings were for others not social distancing.
To date, no tickets have been issued. “The idea of not being able to walk within two metres of someone, I mean, all of this is new for Winnipeggers and by and large Winnipeggers are doing a great job,” Mayor Brian Bowman said at a press briefing on Friday.
