Step by step: Sask. gov’t says final phase of reopening could begin July 11
The Saskatchewan government has laid out the steps required to get to the final step of its Re-Opening Roadmap.
Public health measures like mandatory masking and limits on the size of gatherings will be removed three weeks after 70 per cent of everyone in the province aged 12 and over has received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine — provided at least three weeks have passed since the beginning of Step Two.
Step Two is set to start June 20. Given that 62 per cent of Saskatchewan residents aged 12 and over have received their first shots, all measures currently in place could be lifted as early as July 11 if the vaccination threshold is reached by June 20.
“It’s really up to Saskatchewan people and how many of us make the choice to protect ourselves and those around us and get vaccinated,” Premier Scott Moe said in a media release.
