The Saskatchewan Health Authority has announced a COVID-19 outbreak at CP Rail in Moose Jaw, making it the fourth public space in the city to have several linked cases within the last month.

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.
