The Saskatchewan RCMP continue to take calls related to the coronavirus and pandemic restrictions.
From Mar. 1 to Nov. 30, the Saskatchewan RCMP have received a total of 3,300 COVID-related calls for service. This has resulted in 49 charges.
The RCMP say that most COVID-related calls for service are resolved by educating individuals about the Public Health Orders in place and the potential health and enforcement consequences that can result from non-compliance.
From Nov. 1 to 30, the RCMP received 342 COVID-related calls for service. This includes:
- 128 complaints of individuals not self-isolating;
- 92 large gathering complaints;
- 20 masking complaints;
- 14 traveller check complaints; and
- 88 other COVID-related complaints.
From these calls, police have charged seven individuals.
- Four charges to individuals not self-isolating despite being advised to do so by local health authorities. These charges occurred in the following zones: Far North West, North Central (x2), and Far North Central.
- Three charges to individuals for large gatherings. These charges occurred in the following zones: Far North East, Far North Central and Far North West.
The names of the individuals charged are not released because each charge is a Summary Offence Ticket Information under a Provincial Statute. These charges are not a criminal offence.
Residents are reminded to continue following orders in place.
