Millions left unpaid in COVID-19 fines across the country

Canadians in several provinces who were caught violating federal COVID-19 quarantine rules racked up at least 15-million dollars in fines this year.

That’s according to data from the Public Health Agency of Canada.

Some of the most common offences were entering the country without a pre-arrival test, refusing to do a COVID test upon arrival, and refusing to answer questions from a public health officer.

Only 95 of the fines have been paid, leaving 3.5-million dollars outstanding.
