Starting Monday, you can visit with a small group of family and friends — but exercise caution.

Some restrictions will be lifted on May 4 as part of Phase 1 of the Re-Open Saskatchewan plan. This includes allowing the formation of "extended household" groups.

What does this mean exactly?

An extended household group is made up of one or two close families.

Keep in mind that this group must remain consistent; do not visit other family members or friends.

You still have to be careful. When forming an extended household group, consider if any member of the group has chronic health conditions that would put them at greater risk, or if they are in close contact with someone who could be vulnerable.

Of course, whether you are gathering inside or outside, you must continue to follow the public health order, which means groups of no more than 10 people gathering at once.

Maintain physical distancing by keeping two-metres apart.

You should stay home if you feel sick.

Phase 1 of the Re-Open Saskatchewan plan allows public access to previously restricted medical services, including dentistry, optometry, physical therapy, optician services, podiatry, occupational therapy, and chiropractic treatment. It also provides specific guidelines related to parks and campgrounds, boat launches, fishing and golf courses.

More information on the plan is available online.
