On Monday, Regina police say officers issued their first ticket for a violation of the province’s public health order during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Police said the ticket was given to a 23-year-old woman after officers were informed by public health officials that she was not complying with a mandatory 14-day self-isolation period.
According to a news release, the woman was fined $2,800. On March 26, a public health order was mandated by the government of Saskatchewan to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
It includes a 14-day isolation period for all individuals with confirmed cases of COVID-19, as well as those who have had close contact with someone with the novel coronavirus that causes the disease.
