Police said they informed the residents they were violating the public health order and returned to the home on Nov. 24 to issue a ticket to the 33-year-old woman.
The ticket has a voluntary payment option of $2,800, police said.
Police said they are not naming the woman and are urging everyone to become familiar with all public health orders in effect during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“There is more at stake than tickets and fines,” police said in a release Wednesday.
“We all have a responsibility when it comes to community health and safety.”
