Police may visit the homes of those required to self isolate enforcing the federal Quarantine act.

Fines vary between provinces and cities:

Quebec, Montreal and Quebec city, $1000 fine when 2 or more people not living together are caught together.
Ontario up to $1000 fines but depends on where you live, London minimum $750, Toronto up to $5000 when people walk closer than 2 meters together.
Saskatchewan, $2000 fine for returning travelers that don't self isolate for 14 days
BC, Vancouver $1000 fines for breaking physical distancing rules
Manitoba $486 for the province, yet $1000 in Winnipeg
Alberta, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick also $1000
Prince Edward Island, $1000 first offence, $2000 second, $10,000 third offence.
Newfoundland and Labrador up to $25,000 and or jail time.

The question is, will it be enforced?

However the parliament has rejected the call for more virtual sessions and will be back together today.
