The Saskatchewan Health Authority has issued public notice of two new COVID-19 outbreaks in public spaces in Moose Jaw, now included on the provincial list of outbreaks.

According to public health, an outbreak is confirmed when two or more individuals who are linked to a public setting or event test positive for COVID-19. 

An outbreak was declared at Main Street Strength and Conditioning on March 30, joining a prior outbreak declared at Victoria Towers apartments on Feb. 20 that remains listed.

Public health has also confirmed that cases previously reported at Cornerstone Christian School are now linked, placing the school on the public outbreaks list. Five positive cases were reported on March 24, and classrooms were moved to online learning shortly afterward. 

Positive COVID-19 cases at two other Moose Jaw schools were also reported on March 24, with Palliser Heights School reporting two cases and Central Collegiate reporting one case. 

All Prairie South School Division schools in Moose Jaw have since moved to online learning. 

Contact tracers will be in contact with anyone who may have been exposed in relation to the outbreak. 

Public health reminds residents to continue to practice the recommended safety measures and contact HealthLine 811 if COVID-19 symptoms appear.
