Regina police say they have ticketed another person for violating Saskatchewan’s current public health order.

Police said they went to a home Sunday in the 1700 block on Quebec Street after receiving complaints numerous people were coming and going from the home.

Seven people were found at the home when officers arrived, police said.

Not all lived at that address and a 61-year-old man was issued a $2,800 ticket for failing to comply with a public health order, according to police.

Under the province’s current public health order, households are not allowed any visitors unless it is a single person living on their own, who is then allowed to meet with one household of under five people.

It is the third time in the past few days Regina police have dealt with people failing to comply with COVID-19 restrictions.

On Saturday, a woman who was not following a self-isolation order after testing positive for COVID-19 was issued a ticket.

Last Thursday, police took a man into custody after he left a downtown hotel several times where he was required to stay under a self-isolation order.

He was transported to a closed-custody medical facility in North Battleford.
