The Saskatchewan Health Authority is advising residents of Arcola and the surrounding area that the disruption to emergency and acute care services at the Arcola Health Centre will be lifted, effective 7 a.m. on Feb. 19.
Emergency services and acute care patient admissions will resume at that time.
Due to increased COVID-19 activity in the Weyburn area and required realignment of health services to support patient care, emergency and acute care services at Arcola Health Centre were temporarily unavailable. Arcola physicians and staff members were redeployed to support the SHA’s pandemic response.
While the COVID-19 vaccine is distributed across the province in a targeted, phased approach, Saskatchewan residents are reminded that they are the first line of defense in stopping the spread of COVID-19 and their actions make all the difference in protecting all of our families, friends and neighbours.
People are reminded to abide by physical distancing measure, wash hands regularly, limit your bubble as much as possible, abiding by all public health orders, wear a mask whenever you are in public indoor settings, and stay home if you are feeling even the mildest symptoms as an increasing number of cases are residents going to work when sick.
You can also download the Government of Canada COVID Alert App and use it to protect yourself and your loved ones.
