A 61-year-old Regina man was given a $2,800 ticket Sunday for violating Saskatchewan’s COVID-19 public health orders.
According to the Regina Police Service, officers were sent to a house in the 1700 block of Quebec Street after police received complaints about a number of people “coming and going from the residence in apparent violation of the public health order limiting private gatherings.”
At the scene, officers found seven people in the house, some of whom lived at a different address. The current public health order limits gatherings to members of the same household.
The 61-year-old man who got the ticket was the third person in four days to attract the police’s attention over COVID health measures.
On Saturday, a 31-year-old woman was ticketed for not following a self-isolation order after testing positive for COVID.
And on Thursday, a 36-year-old man was picked up and sent to a closed-custody medical facility in North Battleford for refusing to self-isolate after a positive COVID diagnosis.
