A man who repeatedly approached shoppers in a queue at a Tesco superstore has been charged with breaking coronavirus social distancing rules.
Steven Norman Mackie, 53, was allegedly out of his home without good reason at the Tesco store in Stalybridge, Greater Manchester, on Saturday.
Police officers “advised” him about his conduct but he continued to approach people contrary to social distancing rules and Government guidelines on the restriction of movement during the emergency period, Greater Manchester Police said.
Mackie, of Stamford Street, Stalybridge, has been charged with one count of failing to maintain public health and causing public disorder and nuisance contrary to regulations 6, 9(1b and 4) of the Health Protection Regulations 2020, reports the Manchester Evening News.
He is due to appear at Tameside Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
Nurses and others - employed by the NHS and any other part of health and care - we have never needed them more.
So let’s show them some love, and create a living map of gratitude from every corner of Britain.
By dropping a heart on this map, you’re saying you appreciate the efforts undertaken daily in the NHS.
