Two people have been charged under the Public Health Act over an alleged illegal entry into Prince Edward Island. They were a driver and a passenger in a vehicle that came across the Confederation Bridge, according to an official with the Department of Justice and Public Safety. The email reminded the public that the Chief Public Health Office has the authority to do vehicle inspections under the current public health orders. As of Thursday, 149 charges had been laid in relation to public health violations since Prince Edward Island imposed public health orders related to the pandemic. During that same time, nearly 1,400 people have been denied entry into the province.
