News Calgary cops arresting COVID-19 patients who refuse to isolate

By Dave Naylor

The Calgary Police Service has started up rounding up people with COVID-19 who are refusing to isolate with the virus.

The CPS is using certificates from the Alberta Health Services for the detentions.

Arrested people are taken to hospital where they are put in isolation.

Another call has come in, this one unique to the pandemic. A certificate has been issued by AHS directing us to apprehend a COVID positive person & bring them to a hospital because they refuse to self isolate. These have become common for us & are difficult & hazardous for us. pic.twitter.com/tTLCirbo61
