Employees at Sask. Pen. told to self-isolate through Christmas, as COVID cases climb
Employees at the Saskatchewan Penitentiary have received a huge lump of coal for Christmas in the form of news they will have to self-isolate away from families, including the people they live with until Dec. 27.
A letter dated Dec. 20, from the Saskatchewan Health Authority, explained all employees have been identified as having had a higher risk of exposure.
“Please note that isolation end dates can be fluid and may extend past this projected end date. All individuals under mandatory isolation orders will be instructed as to when that isolation can be ceased,” the letter from the health authority stated.
This comes as positive cases at the prison climbs to 64 inmates and five staff members.
