Law enforcement agencies, including the RCMP, were granted the authority to enforce these measures under penalties of fines or arrest.[39] The government subsequently announced that residents returning from any international travel, those who have tested positive,[40] and those identified as recent contacts of someone who had tested positive, would be required by law to self-isolate for 14 days, with those breaking quarantine subject to a $2,000 fine.[41] Essential travellers such as working crews, transport workers and health care workers were exempt.[41] Premier Moe cited concerns over those not following its previous self-isolation recommendations as justification for the legal measure;[42] indeed, on April 6, a COVID-19-infected individual who had violated the mandatory self-isolation order received the first fine under the new legal measure, issued by the Regina Police Service in the amount of C$2,800.[43]
