Public health officials ask residents to continue taking measures to stop the spread of COVID-19, even when the re-opening measures begin to take place. This includes limiting gatherings, practising physical distancing, continuously disinfecting communal surfaces, and keeping social contact with a designated household group.
Please be aware there is a Public Health Order restricting all non-essential travel into and out of northern Saskatchewan, specifically the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District.
