Officers refer a case of non-compliance back to Saskatoon Health Authority for the first time. The police in Saskatchewan are checking-up on people who are in mandatory self-isolation after returning from international travel.
Regina Police Service spokeswoman stated that the police receive a daily list prepared by the Public Health Agency of Canada of people who have recently traveled. A police car is dispatched to the home address to ensure that the person is doing the mandatory 14-day isolation.
Saskatoon police and the RCMP are also doing visits to check on the compliance with the provincial order, which states anyone who has traveled internationally must isolate for two weeks.
People who are isolating are allowed to be outside on their property, such as a backyard or balcony, and they can take solitary walks if they do not have symptoms.
The police will not issue immediate fines if a person does not open the door. Instead, they report back to the SHA to follow-up. Regina and Saskatoon police have both been doing check-ups since April.
