A man from Gillam, Man., has been charged under the public health act after police say refused to self-isolate after being tested for COVID-19.

The man was tested for novel coronavirus Saturday and police were called after staff at the medical centre said he refused to self-isolate for 14 days while waiting for the results.

Police searched Gillam and later found the man out in the community. Officers told the man he needed to go home to self-isolate — and even offered him a ride — but the man still refused, according to police.

The man was ultimately charged and given a ticket for failing to comply with a provincial emergency health order under the public health act.
