With new public health orders in place in Saskatchewan, the RCMP are now faced with educating the public on the new measures as they have become law.
On March 26, Premier Scott Moe directed residents to stay home as he limited gatherings in a room to 10 people or less. The government of Saskatchewan also released a list of critical public services and businesses that can remain operating, while others were asked to close.
Between March 26-30, Saskatchewan RCMP said they received 436 COVID-19 related calls for service. Of those, 57 complaints of social gatherings of over 10 people were made.
The RCMP said seven warnings were issued and one charge laid. Additionally, the RCMP issued 27 warnings to people failing to self-isolate when required
