It's a stupid thing to do and I understand the need to show there's no tolerance for these kinds of things, but that's still pretty harsh.

I think he deserves time in jail. The police officer and probably other co-workers my have to be some time in quarantine and run Corona tests, not being able to work, and until the results came, preferably stay way from the family.

I don't disagree but a year in prison is a lot. It doesn't sound like much but it in all likelihood means losing your job, house and probably relationship and part of your support network. It's a life changing reset for most. Being stern with idiots isn't a terrible idea but heavy-handedly destroying even more lives doesn't sound appropriate.
Bud:
Same can be said about heavy fines. Here under the Quarantine Act one can be fined up to $750,000. Tough times require tough measures, it is what it is.
