No fines or arrests made related to COVID-19, say RCMP

Manitoba RCMP say that although they have received a number of calls related to COVID-19 over the past week no fines have been issued or arrests made in connection to public health orders.

The Mounties say that between April 8 and April 13, 2020 they received 64 calls related to COVID-19 with the majority of those related to groups over 10 gathering together and not respecting current public health orders.

46 of the calls did not fall within the purview of the RCMP or were resolved through education and guidance by the officers who responded.

Police remind Manitobans to not call the emergency number 911 for COVID-19 related issues. In Winnipeg residents are asked to call 311 to report Covid-19 issues and outside the city to call the Manitoba Government Inquiry Line 204-945-3744.
