£7k fine for breaching self-isolation

Tuesday 24 November 2020


A 40-year-old woman has been fined £7,000 for failing to comply with her 14-day self-isolation.

Louise Hutchinson, 40, was charged for breaching self-isolation twice, once on the 15 November and once on the 17 November.

She returned to Guernsey from Poole on 9 November and had originally requested the seven day isolation option. This was denied and she was told to isolate for the full 14 days.

Hutchinson was charged for breaking her isolation period twice, which was confirmed after officers viewed from the shop she went to on the 15th and 17th of the month.

Hutchinson was fined £3,000 for the first offence and £4,000 for the second, and the Court agreed to a weekly payment plan.
