A Canadian woman had the possibility of a dog overcoming coronavirus restrictions while walking her husband on a leash, according to a report.
The 24-year-old told police she had just “walked her dog” near her home in the city of Sherbrooke, Quebec province, where a curfew was imposed from 8 p.m. to 5 p.m., reported the Telegraph.
Police saw the strange couple around 9pm on Saturday night, when the curfew was in effect.
According to the rules, people can venture during these hours to walk their dogs if they stay about half a mile from their home.
“One of them had the other on a leash and said he was taking his dog, pointing to his partner, for a walk, as allowed under the exceptions provided for by the Quebec Prime Minister under his curfew law. said police spokeswoman Isabelle Gendron. , according to the Telegraph.
The woman and her 40-year-old husband, who were not named, were fined $ 1,217 for the rape.
They said it would be a “pleasure” to receive the fine, adding that “it would not prevent them from breaking the rules in the future and they would see how many tickets they could get,” Gendron said.
On Monday, Quebec Prime Minister François Legault called on residents to abide by the rules of social distancing, saying: “I know it’s difficult, but Quebecers can work as a team when needed,” the BBC reported.
In Quebec, police have issued 750 tickets for infractions during the first weekend of the curfew.
Canada has recorded nearly 670,000 COVID-19 cases in total since the pandemic began.
