The provincial government is reminded people to take precautions against COVID-19, after the province experienced a surge in the number of cases this week.
It has been more than four months since COVID-19 arrived in Saskatchewan.
“It’s understandable that many people are tired or frustrated with the continued state of cautiousness,” the government said. “If you are feeling well or don’t know anyone who has gotten sick, it is easy to think that you do not need to be careful.”
However, the recent surge in COVID-19 in all regions of Saskatchewan shows that people cannot become complacent. There is no region in Saskatchewan without active cases. Personal protective measures protect you, your friends and family.
For the health and safety of the community, the government asks people to act as if there is a risk of coming into contact with COVID-19 anytime you go in public or meet with friends.
“We have seen from our past case numbers that Saskatchewan residents know what needs to be done to reduce transmission: wash your hands often, keep gatherings small and with the same group of people, maintain a physical distance of two metres and wear a mask anywhere where you cannot maintain physical distancing.”
Saskatchewan residents have a responsibility to follow these guidelines, the government said. If everyone does their part to keep themselves and others safe, this province will be able to slow the spread of COVID-19 in Saskatchewan again.
