Four more peo­ple have been ar­rest­ed over the past 24 hours for breach­ing the cur­few stip­u­lat­ed un­der the cur­rent Emer­gency Pow­ers Reg­u­la­tions, ac­cord­ing to the lat­est COVID Reg­u­la­tions en­force­ment up­date from the Po­lice Ser­vice.

The Po­lice Ser­vice says this lat­est group of four ar­rest­ed per­sons has moved the to­tal num­ber of ar­rests for this of­fence to 1,945 per­sons, since the State of Emer­gency was ac­ti­vat­ed in May 2021.

And no one was ar­rest­ed for breach of the Pub­lic Health Reg­u­la­tions, so the to­tal num­ber of ar­rests for this of­fence still stands at 1,795.

In its re­port for to­day, Wednes­day 20 Oc­to­ber 2021, the TTPS al­so notes that an­oth­er 29 per­sons were is­sued tick­ets for fail­ing to wear their face mask prop­er­ly (or at all), mov­ing the to­tal num­ber of tick­ets is­sued un­der this reg­u­la­tion to 19,136.

The ar­rests and tick­et­ing would have been the out­comes of mul­ti­ple pa­trols and oth­er op­er­a­tions the Po­lice Ser­vice car­ried out across the coun­try over the past 24 hours—some 407 pa­trols and 60 road­blocks in all, dur­ing that pe­ri­od.

As such, the TTPS is re­new­ing its call to cit­i­zens to ad­here to the Emer­gency Pow­ers and Pub­lic Health Reg­u­la­tions and wel­comes in­for­ma­tion on pos­si­ble breach­es.

Mean­while, the COVID-19 pan­dem­ic con­tin­ues to take a heavy toll on the TTPS.

Some 55 po­lice of­fi­cers are in quar­an­tine at present, while the to­tal num­ber of those who have test­ed pos­i­tive for COVID-19 now stands at 282 po­lice of­fi­cers.
