A number of fines were issued by public health inspectors to Saskatchewan eating establishments on the week of Nov. 8, the Saskatchewan Health Authority said on Tuesday.

The fines were a result of violations of the province’s COVID-19 public health orders.

Two corporate fines of $14,000 were handed out to A&W and Bluez on Second — two businesses in Unity, Sask. — for failing to ask for proof of vaccination or a negative test from patrons. In addition, a $2,800 ticket was given to an individual, at that time, for failing to wear a mask.
