The Chief Medical Health Officer at @Interior_Health Dr. Albert de Villiers says, at this point, there& #39;s no evidence any rules have been broken.

"We have been made aware of this and there is currently some orders that prohibit these things."

Dr. Albert de Villiers also tells @NEWS1130 it& #39;s hard to watch public safety orders get ignored.

"They& #39;re putting people at risk. It& #39;s very frustrating because we know our hospitalizations have gone up across the province. You& #39;ve seen the numbers."
