Can someone answer a couple of questions for me?  
When the COVID enforcement members do door-to-door checks is one required to allow them entry for a walk around or would they need a warrant?  
Also, where is the personal information (names and addresses, birthdates, relationship status, occupation, etc.) they collect stored? Is it secure, who has access to it and how long will it be retained? This information would be a goldmine to an identity thief!  
Thank you.

I have not heard of anybody doing "door-to-door" enforcement checks?

The only thing I’ve heard about door-to-door checks have been scams over the last several months.  
 
Door-to-door enforcement checks seem like a major security and healthy and safety risk.  
 
Not sure if it’s a thing but I wouldn’t be letting anyone in my house.

When my friend came back from the Philippines, they had people call and check every day to make sure they didn’t go anywhere. This was earlier on in the pandemic, I’m not sure if that’s still a thing. Really doubt people come into the home though. That seems extremely counter productive to the restrictions at play.. Sounds like more of a rumour that was started. I could be wrong though.

I am not aware of a "Covid Enforcement Team" per se but there are a couple of scenarios that may fit what you are asking.  
 
If a person returns from travel and is required under the federal act to quarantine, local police of jurisdiction (here, Brandon Police Service (BPS)) will be tasked with doing compliance checks. They should attend to the residence to confirm that the person is in fact at that residence, rather than just placing a phone call. With today's technology, checking by phone is really a pointless exercise.  
The second scenario is local enforcement of the provincial public health orders, which are usually complaint driven as they relate to a private residence.  
 
In neither scenario though, are police granted permission to enter the residence unless they are invited in, or other extenuating or emergent circumstances arise. Entry into a private dwelling without a judicial authorization is prima facia unreasonable and neither federal or provincial health orders have granted the extraordinary exception of warrantless entry and search.  
 
The retention of records falls under federal, provincial, and municipal statute and would be protected the same way as all other personal information. I am not aware of any private entity (eg, a private security company) being given personal information.  
 
Hope this helps.
