Police in Canada will visit the homes of people under
coronavirus quarantine to check they are in compliance, with those who
flout the law facing a fine of up to $1 million dollars and three years
in jail.
Under the law, Canadians who have returned from
abroad or are at risk of having been infected with COVID-19 are mandated
to remain at home for 14 days.
Police say they will visit the
homes of those under quarantine and advise them of the “potential
consequences of non-compliance,” adding that violators could face
“significant penalties, including fines and imprisonment.”
“The maximum fine for failing to comply with the
quarantine is $750,000 and up to six months in prison, but those who put
others at risk through could face harsher penalties: up to a $1-million
levy and three years imprisonment,” reports
Global News.ca.
The RCMP said that the checks would be facilitated through
authorities first contacting persons by phone, text or e-mail and then
having officers perform a “physical verification with the individual
while maintaining physical distancing.”
Police say arrests of people flouting the law would be a last
resort but that officers could issue them with a summons requiring them
to appear in court.
