Cedrick Louedec, 51, and Margaret Van Den Heever, 41, appeared before the Magistrate’s Court yesterday.
Louedec travelled here from France on 11 August and was required to self-isolate for 14-days. Louedec had a translator in Court and reportedly did not speak English or understand the rules.
He had been encouraged by Van den Heever, a Guernsey resident, to go out that same day and again the next morning, when they are reported to have travelled on a public bus service.
It is the first time someone has been convicted for aiding and abetting a self-isolation breach.
The GBA are still monitoring those people required to self-isolate, and it is still your responsibility to ensure you follow the rules to help keep our community safe.

Louedec was fined £5,000 combined for the two breaches. He has to pay £2,000 towards that before being released from custody.
Van den Heever was fined £5,000, to be paid in full before her release. She was also hit with a six-week suspended prison sentence.
