· Thirteen complaints of businesses not complying with the Public Health Order, resulting in three warnings issued.

The majority of these calls were resolved by educating the public of the potential health risks and enforcement consequences that can come from non-compliance with the Public Health Order.

Officers are responsible for ensuring their actions do not put others at risk while doing their part to slow the spread of the virus.

Police said the public needs to do their part by staying home and avoiding situations where there is a potential to spread the virus.

Saskatchewan RCMP ensures they’re committed to keeping communities safe.

Detachments are open and local police officers continue to be present to provide services and ensure community safety.
