The RCMP has received hundreds of COVID-19-related calls since the province issued the public health order March 26.
In a release, the RCMP says it received 436 calls between March 20 and March 30.
Between March 26 and March 31, the RCMP received the following COVID-19-related calls for service in Saskatchewan:
- 57 complaints of social gatherings of more than 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 so, which resulted in 27 warnings issued; and,
- 13 complaints of businesses not complying with the public health order, resulting in three warnings issued.
The release says the vast majority of the calls for service were resolved by educating the public of the potential health and enforcement consequences of not complying with the order.
The release also asks people to stay at home and avoid situations where there is the potential to spread the virus.
