The judge found that the coughing was deliberate and intentional.
A Campbell River woman who became irate at physical-distancing measures and forcibly coughed in the face of a grocery store supervisor in the early days of the pandemic has been convicted of causing a disturbance and two counts of assault.
At the time, provincial health officers were urging people to maintain at least two metres of distance between themselves and others. When Woolman said she would not obey the physical-distancing measures, Poulton asked her to leave. Instead, Woolman walked toward the back of the store, with Poulton following at a distance of two metres, repeatedly asking her to leave.
Two other employees arrived to help Poulton guide Woolman from the store. Then a fourth employee, who came to help the others,“essentially kept her encircled and moving forward so she would leave.”
