Manitoba issued 70 tickets and 123 warnings last week for disobeying COVID-19 pandemic rules.
Most of the tickets (May 10-16) were to individuals: 62 were $1,296 fines for various offences, including 53 for gatherings inside private residences or on outdoor private property, six for failure to self-isolate, one for unnecessary northern travel, and two to sole proprietorships.

Five people were fined $298 for failing to wear a face covering in an indoor public place.
Three businesses were hit with $5,000 tickets.
Osborne Village pub Toad in the Hole was one of them. Co-owner Kevin Monk stressed it was a lapse by a couple of employees, rather than intentional COVID-19 rule-breaking by the Winnipeg bar.
