In case you missed it, the Grenada Government is to make amendments to the 1947 Quarantine Act to increase the penalty for individuals who breach Quarantine (Covid-19) regulations.
At present the maximum fine is 10,000 EC dollars.
According to the amendment which will be laid in the House of Representatives the Bill is seeking to amend section 7 (2) to increase the maximum penalty from 10,000 dollars and imprisonment for 6 months, to 25,000 dollars and imprisonment for 1 year.
To date, 5 persons are known to be charged by law enforcement for breaching the Covid-19 regulations with the magistrate who dealt with the matter ordering fines ranging between 3 to 5,000 dollars.
