Province urges vigilance as COVID-19 cases rise

Jul 10, 2020 | 3:26 PM

The province is encouraging Saskatchewan residents to be vigilant as COVID-19 cases increase.

In the last week, there have been public service announcements for the Saskatoon, Lloydminster, Prince Albert, and southwest areas of the province.

“We are seeing more positive cases of COVID-19 popping up around the province, reminding us that COVID-19 is everywhere and has no boundaries,” Dr. David Torr, Public Health Incident Command Centre Co-Lead for the SHA, said. “Across Saskatchewan, we need to be more vigilant when it comes to preventing the spread of the virus.”

The province urges all to continue practicing the safety precautions to prevent COVID-19, which includes maintaining two metres of separation, implementing proper hygiene practices, and complying with provincial health orders. Locals are reminded to limit the size of outdoor gatherings. Anyone with symptoms is reminded to protect themselves and others, especially the vulnerable. If you feel sick, stay home, self-isolate, and get tested for the virus.

Testing is available to all Saskatchewan residents who are experiencing symptoms. Testing is also available for anyone working outside the home and being admitted to acute care for more than 24 hours, including expectant mothers and immunocompromised individuals.
