The provincial government is reminding the public to be mindful of COVID-19 during the August long weekend.
The government asks people to plan activities with families or individuals in your extended household group, visit greenspaces in and around your community or beat the heat by checking out one of the many great Saskatchewan lakes and reservoirs.
Whatever your long weekend plans, remember that public health orders remain in place to prevent transmission of COVID-19.
Continue to practice preventative measures:
Wash your hands frequently;
Practice physical distancing of two metres;
Wear a mask in settings where physical distancing cannot be maintained;
Limit contacts outside your home to your extended household group; and
Stay home if you are sick.
There may be social or peer pressure to attend events that you feel pose an unacceptable amount of risk to you and your family. Decisions not to attend are your own, and are not cause for ridicule or shame. Family and friends should understand and respect measures that people are taking to stay healthy and prevent the spread of COVID-19.
