Premier Scott Moe has announced the provincial requirement to provide proof of vaccination or negative tests in Saskatchewan businesses, workplaces and other public venues will end this Monday morning at 12:01.  He says it’s time to take the next step in living with COVID-19 and getting our lives back to normal.  He explained:            

“It’s time for us to come together as families, friends and communities and as a province and as a nation and it’s time for us to reach out and support one another.  Let’s not judge our neighbor because they may be vaccinated or because they may not be vaccinated, let’s not judge our neighbor if they should choose to wear a mask or not choose to wear a mask in the coming weeks.  It’s time for each of us as individuals to now make a conscious effort to treat everyone in our daily lives that we encounter equally.”       

Moe noted the remaining public health orders requiring masking in indoor public spaces will remain in effect until the end of February. He added vaccines and rapid test kits will continue to be widely accessible throughout the province noting the need for personal responsibility for self monitoring, self testing and self management and taking the appropriate action if they are unwell.
