The Manitoba RCMP received a number of calls related to COVID-19 over the past week or so.

 

A press release from the RCMP states 64 calls were made to detachments across the province between Apr. 8-13, with 17 of them for the north district.

 

The majority of the calls were reports of ten or more people gathering at a location and not respecting the orders in place under the Public Health Act, with six warnings issued in the Northern District.

 

Enforcement was not necessary for 46 of the calls, as they either didn’t fall under police jurisdiction or were resolved through education and guidance given by responding officers.

 

There were no fines or arrests made during this time period.

 

Manitobans living outside of Winnipeg are reminded not to call 9-1-1 for COVID-19 related issues, and reports of non-compliance can be made to the Manitoba Government Inquiry line at 204-945-3744.
