Saskatchewan RCMP have been kept busy as of late with calls regarding COVID-19 and the public health orders issued by the province late last month.
RCMP handled 436 COVID-19 related calls for service between March 20 and March 30.
Specifically, between March 26 and 31, Saskatchewan RCMP received the following COVID-19-related calls for service in Saskatchewan RCMP jurisdiction:
- 57 complaints of social gatherings of over 10 people which resulted in seven warnings issued and one charge laid;
- 110 complaints of people failing to self-isolate when allegedly required to do, resulting in 27 warnings issued; and
- 13 complaints of businesses not complying with the Public Health Order, resulting in three warnings issued.
According to a press release, most of the calls were resolved by educating members of the public of the potential health and enforcement consequences. Police continue to remind the public to stay at home and to follow the provincial government’s orders.
Detachments remain open across the province and officers continue to serve communities.
